DI Sean Duffy, and DC McCrabben have found a torso in a suitcase in an
abandoned plant in Belfast. Dr. Laura Cathcart, after doing the
autopsy, informs the detectives that the man had been poisoned and his
body kept in a freezer.
Duffy finds out that the poison used is
very toxic, acting in a matter of minutes. Is this death associated
with "The Troubles"? If so, it has come at an inopportune time as the
Argentines have just invaded The Falklands. In order to deal with that,
Thatcher will have to pull troops out of Northern Ireland.
An
identity card in the suitcase leads Duffy to a farm in search of the
owner. He finds out that the owner had been gunned down by the IRA
sometime earlier. However, the circumstances of his death don't sit
well with Duffy.
A break in the investigation gives the team a
possible name. The victim appears to be an American. Unfortunately the
information is of no help, nor is the funny phone call and note Duffy
receives. This leads Duffy off to the U. S. A. What he finds leads to
more mayhem and violence.
Author Adrian McKinty has written another excellent thriller, hard to put down.
