Meet Terry Fennell, Belfast's guiltiest drunk and most unobliging
detector. A former soldier for a secret branch of the army, Terry
dealt with all the things that go bump in the night, now cut loose
and disenfranchised after a secret handshake between the government
and the nocturnal element put him out of a job and on to the dole
queue. When a distraught mother seeks Terry out to help find her
kids, kidnapped by her back-from-the-dead ex-husband, he can't
resist the lure of fast money. However, a simple no hope case turns
into a complex web of lies and misdirection as Terry finds himself
plunged into a life and death chase where violence is the fastest
route to the truth and hard drinking is a hangover cure. It's the
sort of life he wishes was somebody else's. It's the sort of life
that could get you... Deadfast. Praise for Deadfast "If Joss Whedon
were to set a Buffy spin-off in the wee big city of Belfast, he'd
be hard-pressed to top Deadfast. In Terry Fennell, McCann invokes
the spirit of Dashiell Hammett's Spade, possesses Bateman's Dan
Starkey and sets him loose on the undead underbelly of Ulster." -
