"In this pitch-perfect sequel to The Cold Cold Ground ...Duffy is nearly overwhelmed by politics. This is crime fiction at its best : a police procedural with dialogue that's crisp and occasionally lighthearted; blistering action that's often lethal; McKinty's mordant Belfastian wit; and a protagonist readers won't want to leave behind when the trilogy ends." --BOOKLIST , starred review " I Hear the Sirens in the Street blew my bloody doors off!" --IAN RANKIN, author of the Inspector Rebus novels "Adrian McKinty has the chops to do all manner of things with words, and in I Hear the Sirens in the Street he unleashes a strain of rough and visual, sly and lyric narrative prose in service of one hell of a story. Sean Duffy is a great creation, a figure of many parts, and the place comes alive." --DANIEL WOODRELL, author of The Outlaw Album: Stories, An intricate plot line that keeps Duffy, and the reader, guessing throughout. There's dark humor and violence and he evokes the time and place of the novel with unerring accuracy., The rich Irish brogue of Gerard Doyle is magnificent but not overwhelming to American listeners. Verdict: Highly recommended., Adrian McKinty has done it again.

Synopsis
A torso in a suitcase looks like an impossible case, but Sean Duffy isn't easily deterred, especially when his floundering love life leaves him in need of a distraction. So with Detective Constables McCrabban and McBride, he goes to work identifying the victim. The torso turns out to be all that's left of an American tourist who once served in the US military. What was he doing in Northern Ireland in the midst of the 1982 Troubles? The trail leads to the doorstep of a beautiful, flame-haired, twentysomething widow, whose husband died at the hands of an IRA assassination team just a few months before. Suddenly Duffy is caught between his romantic instincts, gross professional misconduct, and powerful men he should know better than to mess with. These include British intelligence, the FBI, and local paramilitary death squads--enough to keep even the savviest detective busy. Duffy's growing sense of self-doubt isn't helping. But as a legendarily stubborn man, he doesn't let that stop him from pursuing the case to its explosive conclusion., This propulsive thriller is a "gruesomely accurate portrayal of '80s life in Ireland" (Kirkus Reviews) from the New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author Adrian McKinty. "Adrian McKinty just leapt to the top of my list of must-read suspense novelists. He's the real deal." --Dennis Lehane A torso in a suitcase looks like an impossible case, but Sean Duffy isn't easily deterred, especially when his floundering love life leaves him in need of a distraction.
