The book opens with Duffy having been "lifted" from a pub in Derry, and he knows that the IRA hit squad that lifted him is going to kill him. Then, we go back to why Duffy is in Derry in the first place, and the crime that starts the entire plot - a drug dealer shot and killed with a crossbow. And that's on a minor plot point in the story.
I was worried how the basic set up of the story was going to change, what with how book 5 ended, but I think that the changes were good, that Duffy is growing as a character, and that this would be a good ending for the series.
