Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award

In this electrifying noir thriller, a young Irish ex-cop travels half a world away to investigate the murder of a beautiful girl he once loved.

Alexander Lawson is a former detective for Northern Ireland’s police force who, after a disastrous stint in the drug squad, became addicted to heroin and resigned in disgrace. Now twenty-four, sickly, and on the dole, Alex learns that his high-school love, Victoria Patawasti, has been murdered in America. Victoria’s wealthy family sends Alex to Colorado to investigate the case, and he seizes the opportunity for a chance at redemption. But things don’t go as planned. Plagued by a heroin habit, forced to go on the run after the only credible witness to Victoria’s murder is accidentally killed, wanted by both the Colorado cops and the Ulster police, Alex struggles just to stay alive.

“He is a cross between Micky Spillane and Damon Runyon—the toughest, the best. Beware of McKinty.” —Frank McCourt, author of Angela’s Ashes
“A storyteller with the kind of style and panache that blur the line between genre and mainstream.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“[Listeners] will be hooked by both McKinty’s skillfully woven suspense and Doyle’s almost endearing interpretation of this memorable protagonist.” —Publishers Weekly
“Gerard Doyle compels the listener into the midst of this gritty thriller…achieving skilled psychological shadings that inform and color all the characters…Listeners will be riveted.” —AudioFile
