Klappentext zu „The Cold Cold Ground “
Book 1 in the Detective Sean Duffy series."McKinty is one of Britain's great contemporary crime writers and the Sean Duffy books are his masterpiece." - Ian Rankin
Two dead.
One left in a car by the side of a road. He was meant to be found quickly. His killer is making a statement.
The other is discovered hanging in a tree, deep in a forest. Surely a suicide: she'd just given birth, but there's no sign of the baby.
Nothing seems to link the two, but Detective Sergeant Sean Duffy knows the links that seem to be invisible are just waiting to be uncovered. And as a policeman who has solved six murders so far in his career, but not yet brought a single case to court, Duffy is determined that this time, someone will pay.

Rezension zu „The Cold Cold Ground “
"'If Raymond Chandler had grown up in Northern Ireland, The Cold Cold Ground is what he would have written' (Peter Millar, Times) 'The names of David Peace and Ellroy are evoked too often in relation to young crime writers, but McKinty shares their method of using the past as a template for the present. The Cold Cold Ground is a crime novel, fast-paced, intricate and genre to the core.' (Eoin McNamee, Guardian) 'Detective Sergeant Sean Duffy could well become a cult figure' (Irish Independent)"
