In the Morning I'll be Gone by Adrian McKinty
5.0
Adrian McKinty didn't let me down with this instalment of his Sean Duffy series. It's captivating, catches you right from the start, let's take a look at the beginning :
"The beeper began to whine at 4.27pm on Wednesday, 25 September 1983. It was repeating a shrill C sharp at four-second intervals which meant - for those of us who had bothered to read the manual - that it was a Class 1 emergency. This was a general alert being sent to every off-duty policeman, police reservist and soldier in Northern Ireland. There were only five Class 1 emergencies and three of them were a Soviet nuclear strike, a Soviet invasion and what the civil servants who'd written the manual had nonchalantly called 'an extra-terrestrial trespass'."
I love Sean's character, even if he's an Irish Catholic working for the RUC and living among Protestants, how unusual ! A lover of music and of all kinds of things to be smoked, a cultivated man, too. I love that the series takes place in the 80's, with the troubles, Thatchers, the miners's strike. The plot is interesting. The whole series is great !
