Histoire
Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

Histoire
An illegal immigrant is killed in a hit-and-run on a frozen mountain road in the town of Fairview, Colorado. No one is prosecuted for his death and his case is quietly forgotten. Six months later another illegal makes a treacherous run across the border, barely escaping with her life. She finds work as a maid and, secretly, begins to investigate the death of her father. But she isn't a maid, and she's not Mexican.

Histoire
Felix Pink is retired. Widowed for more than a decade and a painfully literal thinker, he has led a life of routine. He occupies himself volunteering as an Exiteer - someone who sits with terminally ill people as they die by suicide, assisting with logistics and lending moral support. When Felix lets himself into Number 3 Black Lane, he’s there to keep a dying man company as he takes his final breath. But just 15 minutes later, Felix is on the run from the police. Now he must discover whether what went wrong was a simple mistake - or deliberate, a murder.

After moving from a small country town to Seattle, Heather Baxter marries Tom, a widowed doctor with a young son and teenage daughter. A working vacation overseas seems like the perfect way to bring the new family together, but once they’re deep in the Australian outback, the jet-lagged and exhausted kids are so over their new mom.

But as soon as they set foot on the island, which is run by a tightly knit clan of locals, everything feels wrong.

Carl Mørck used to be one of Denmark’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl - who didn’t draw his weapon - blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: A liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead...yet.

But Matt was not satisfied that the real murderer had been caught. Over 25 years later, Matt gets a photo in an unmarked envelope. It's of the Gibbet Fen crime scene. And the picture was taken before the murder took place. More photos arrive, relating to the historic murders, as well as intimate pictures of Matt's very secret private life.

Description
Fast-paced, evocative, and brutal, The Cold Cold Ground is a brilliant depiction of Belfast at the height of the Troubles — and of a cop treading a thin, thin line —from The New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author Adrian McKinty.
“McKinty is one of the most striking and most memorable crime voices to emerge on the scene in years.” —Tana French
Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force. Add to this the fact that, as a Catholic policeman, it doesn’t matter which side he’s on, because nobody trusts him, and Sergeant Duffy really is in a no-win situation.

Bit of a drag in the beginning
Was pleasantly surprised at the end but the story itself was slow and picked up pace at the very end. loved the history aspect of it, but at the same time it also overshadowed the storyline. Was hard following the accent but that is on me.

Realistic Crime Thriller During "The Troubles"
The crimes that RUC detective Sean Duffy is tasked to solve - the violent murder/sodomy of a gay IRA operative and staged suicide of another's ex-wife - are intriguing. The true star of this book, however, is the setting:
Officer Duffy (an Irish Catholic betraying his countrymen by working as a "Peeler" for the hated British-sponsored constabulary) examines his car for bombs every time he gets in it as a 100% justified matter of routine; avoids murderous riots as he conducts witness interviews & meets with pathologists; cringes after hearing explosions and riot guns in the distance; and routinely considers if the restaurant/theater he's patronizing might be a target for terrorists.
Adrian McKinty paints a picture of a jawdropping Belfast reality without overdoing it. The effort makes a fairly routine crime investigation fascinating.
Less fortuitously, reader Gerard Doyle sounds "disinterested" on this performance. Blackstone Audio Inc. provide outstanding technical support - and Doyle's natural Irish brogue (and undeniably accurate Gaelic where the dialogue includes it) make him a commendable casting choice - but he's not well-suited for the project. The narrator lacks the tonal range to deliver the emotiveness required for a Suspense-Thriller. Even beyond relatively weak voice-acting, Doyle sounds flat. The narration is distinctly "average" overall.
Altogether, this first entry in the 'Sean Duffy' series of Crime Thrillers rates 8 stars out of 10. Don't hesitate to give it a listen if you can get it as a 'Plus' selection.. but if they ask for a Credit, you could do better. As for me - I will continue following this fascinating character (sarcastic, music-obsessed, and jaded/distrustful but weirdly deferential to authority for some reason).
[Incidentally: I found one character's prediction for the date of the apocalypse - August 29, 1997 (the day that SkyNet became self-aware.. and coincidentally, the day I got married) - personally hilarious]

Great book!
I found this book by chance. I seen posts about “the chain” and read up on Adrian. I was a big fan of Stephen King’s Bill Hodges series and figured I’d try this. Didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to start the second.
