Endlich wieder etwas neues vom katholischen Bullen Sean Duffy. Wie immer sind die kleinen Geschichten, die der Autor Adrian McKinty neben der Hauptstory erzählt, viel interessanter. Es ist die Nostalgie der 80er und 90er, die gut recherchierte und detailliert beschriebene Situation der Troubles in Nordirland bzw. In Belfast, mit all der Gewalt und Leidenschaft auf allen Seiten, die Vielzahl an interessanten Charakteren mit all ihren Eigenheiten und der großartig platzierte schräge Humor. Das ist es, was diese Serie für mich bedeutet. Hoffentlich bald wieder!
