In McKinty's (The Dead Yard) tenth book, Killian, an ex-enforcer for the IRA, returns during this global recession to his lucrative criminal specialty as a hedge against his real estate investments. He is hired by a billionaire airline and casino magnate to find the man's ex-wife, who has disappeared with their two daughters. This fast-paced thriller also looks at discrimination in Northern Ireland (Killian's heritage is of the widely despised Pavee or Tinker community). Irish actor/narrator Gerard Doyle's great reading of McKinty's dialog enhances the experience. That said, listeners will be well advised to know in advance that "peelers" are police, "caravans," trailers, and "weens" (wee'uns), youngsters. Highly recommended for adult crime/mystery collections. To McKinty fans who have not seen his blog (adrianmckinty.blogspot.com): go there!—Cliff Glaviano, formerly with Bowling Green State Univ.
