Another cracker in this superior series

A cracker

An unforgettable title ... it perfectly sums up the paranoid
atmosphere at Carrickfergus CID in the late 1980s. McKinty moves
seamlessly between action and reflection, and his sardonic tone is
a delight.
*Sunday Times*
Crime is the subject, but Police at the Station and They Don't Look
Friendly will prove one of the best novels of any kind this
year.
*The Australian*
The sixth in McKinty's increasingly impressive Duffy series ...
most enjoyable ... a first-person tail of cheerfully grim fatalism
and Prod-Taig banter, chock-a-block with cultural references.
*Irish Times*
Praise for the Sean Duffy series:
McKinty has all the virtues: smart dialogue, sharp plotting, sense
of place, well-rounded characters and a nice line in what might be
called cynical lyricism ... Gateway McKinty: you won't stop
here
*Irish Times*
The tension between McKinty's love of tight, formal puzzles and
loose, riffing dialogue is what makes the Duffy novels such a
joy
*Guardian*
A new Sean Duffy novel is always one of the highlights of a crime
reader's year
*Sydney Morning Herald*
A treat and an education
*Val McDermid*
One of the great crime series ... Brilliant
*Sun*
A classic plot with modern twists
*Sunday Times*
Adrian McKinty is one of the great storytellers writing crime
fiction today.
*Don Winslow*
When it comes to Northern Irish crime fiction, Adrian McKinty
forged the path the rest of us follow.
