There are many referrals to the Maze prison controversy and the role of Gerry Adams on the political stage. If you were gay.well that was another matter entirely. The 1980s was a difficult time in Ireland whether you were Catholic or Protestant. Against the chaos and destruction of the bombings, there’s the roar of the riots, the desperation and control of the IRA hunger strikers, and the every day fear that this violence could spill out in front of an ordinary citizen just going about their day. Living with the IRA and the troubles in the background was a frightening time and this book brings it home. As you drive through the city’s streets, stop at the checkpoints and see the number of soldiers patrolling your every move, this is the Belfast he knew and grew up with. The author is from the very place, and lived in the very street that Duffy lives on in the book so the level of authenticity is high. Against a very real and frightening backdrop, there is also murder and other crimes to solve but the backdrop adds an extra element of fear and darkness. The first in a series of novels set amongst the gritty hinterland of the Northern Ireland troubles in the 1980s.
