Belfast. January 2005. Acting Detective Sergeant John O'Neill
stands over the body of a dead teenager. The corpse was discovered
on the building site of a luxury development overlooking the River
Lagan. Kneecapped then killed, the body bears the hallmarks of a
punishment beating. But this is the new Northern Ireland - the
Celtic Tiger purrs, the Troubles are over, the paramilitaries are
gone. So who is the boy? Why was he killed? O'Neill quickly
realises that no one cares who the kid is - his colleagues, the
politicians, the press - making this case one of the toughest yet.
And he needs to crack this one, his first job as Principle
Investigator, or he risks ending up back in uniform. Disliked by
the Chief Inspector and with his current rank yet to be ratified,
O'Neill is in a precarious position. With acute insight, Matt
McGuire's cracking debut exposes the hidden underbelly of the new
Northern Ireland, a world of drug dealing, financial corruption and
vigilante justice.
