About this listen

New York Times bestselling author Adrian McKinty continues the Edgar Award-winning Sean Duffy series with Hang On St. Christopher.

Rain slicked streets, riots, murder, chaos. It’s July 1992 and the Troubles in Northern Ireland are still grinding on after twenty-five apocalyptic years. Detective Inspector Sean Duffy got his family safely over the water to Scotland, to “Shortbread Land.” Duffy’s a part-timer now, only returning to Belfast six days a month to get his pension. It’s an easy gig, if he can keep his head down.

But then a murder case falls into his lap while his protégé is on holiday in Spain. A carjacking gone wrong and the death of a solitary, middle-aged painter. But something’s not right, and as Duffy probes he discovers the painter was an IRA assassin. So, the question becomes: Who hit the hit man and why?

This is Duffy’s most violent and dangerous case yet and the whole future of the burgeoning “peace process” may depend upon it. Based on true events, Duffy must unentangle parallel operations by the CIA, MI5, and Special Branch. Duffy attempts to bring a killer to justice while trying to keep himself and his team alive as everything unravels around them. They might not all make it out of this one.

What’s not to love about another Sean Duffy story. Adrian McKinty has excelled himself again with his humour in this entertaining and suspenseful story and just like his previous novels, the narration by Gerald Doyle is superb. I just hope there’s going to be more Sean Duffy

Absolutely Fabulous

I have listened to the whole Duffy series ( twice ) and the entire series is fantastic. This book is a perfect addition to the series - like all of them, a beautifully written, incredible story with fabulous characters that often make me laugh out loud. Duffy is my favourite leading character of all time. And as always, excellent narration that brings the story to life. Highly recommend!!!

Perfect in every way

I only discovered the Sean Duffy series this year and had to wait for this book. Just finished and feel like going back to the beginning immediately. I have throughly enjoyed. Gerard Doyle is the best narrator I’ve heard- I could listen to him all day, smooth, is consistent with his character voices and engaging- having the same narrator throughout is a bonus too.
Highly recommend anyone get to know Sean Duffy

So good but tinged with sadness that it might just be the last in the series.
Truly the best detective series and narration ever. Trust me.

Listen slowly to make it last.
