[Library Edition Audiobook CD in Vinyl case.]
Belfast, 1982. The city is still in recovery from the riots and hunger strikes of the previous year. Newly promoted Detective Inspector Sean Duffy finds a torso in a suitcase. It seems like the perfect crime: no fingerprints, no head. But as Duffy begins to uncover the truth, he discovers that he's not the only one trying to figure out what happened to this dead American ''tourist.'' Somehow the FBI is involved, as is British Intelligence, and it's all connected to a failing car factory just up the road - a factory run by the slick and shady John DeLorean. As Duffy peels back the layers on the case, he realizes that both his job and his life are once again on the line.
Review
''Adrian McKinty's
I Hear the Sirens in the Street is his second Duffy novel and it sees him right back to his very best form. It's full of pathos and has 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 . . . At his best, McKinty is the equal of any of the current batch of crime thriller writers - and this is him at his best . . . If you like your crime thrillers to be action packed with plenty of sharp dialogue then this book will be very much up your street, and the 1980s nostalgic element is terrific . . . The only bad point is that we have to wait until 2014 for the third book in this series -
And in the Morning I'll be Gone. I cannot wait.'' --
