Rain Dogs by Adrian
McKinty
The fourth of the Detective Sean Duffy novels begins with a
fictional account of Muhammad Ali’s visit to Belfast. And while this did not
actually happen (there’s an explanation in the afterword), this book, like the
others in the series, is firmly grounded in 1980s Belfast. What starts with the
missing wallet of a member of a Swedish trade mission and moves on to the
mysterious suicide of a financial reporter ends up with the beginnings uncovering
of a ring of pedophiles that rocked Ireland and Great Britain. Sean tries to
balance the awful discoveries he makes with the chaos of his private life.
Well-written and engaging, maybe not the best of the Duffy novels, but still a lot better than most crime fiction.
