Northern Ireland should declare Inspector Sean Duffy of the Royal Ulster Constabulary a national treasure and arrange for him to be knighted in the Queen's New Years Honors List. 'Sir Sean' has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

One of my favorite aspects of the whole Sean Duffy series is the personal, even intimate way McKinty uses the first person to spin these tales, and HANG ON ST. CHRISTOPHER takes that technique to new heights. Parts of the book read like a transcript of a late night phone call from Duffy, a couple of drinks to the good, one that starts out, 'You will not believe the shit that happened to me today!'

All hail Sir Sean! He certainly deserves a hell of a lot more attention from American crime fiction readers than he's gotten until now. Without question, he's one of the greatest detectives in the history of crime fiction.

This was a strong eighth book in the Sean Duffy series, it had that element that I enjoyed from the previous seven books. The plot had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel of this. The characters were everything that I was looking for and wanted to continued the world. Adrian McKinty has a strong writing style and glad I got to read this.
