From the New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award–winning author Adrian McKinty comes the origin story of his most famous creation, Detective Sean Duffy. Belfast, 1980, is the apocalypse. Bombings, riots, army on the streets, low flying helicopters, and ever-present rain. The grinding Northern Irish civil war between Protestants and Catholics has been going for a decade now. Hated by both sides are the police. Sean Duffy Year 1 takes us into that world. Newly promoted Detective Sergeant Sean Duffy is given his first command at Carrickfergus CID. In this prequel novella, McKinty takes listeners through Duffy's first two weeks on the job. A case to solve and a chance to impress his bosses, if, of course, he can get out of it alive.
