(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read, Open EPUB eBook)
"Adrian McKinty is a gifted storyteller I love to read, and Sean Duffy is a character you will never forget."—Don Winslow, #1 internationally bestselling author
From New York Times bestselling author Adrian McKinty comes the next thrilling mystery in the Edgar Award–winning Sean Duffy detective series
Slamming the door on the hellscape of 1980s Belfast, Detective Inspector Sean Duffy hopes that the 1990s are going to be better for him and the people of Northern Ireland. As a Catholic cop in the mainly Protestant RUC he still has a target on his back, and with a steady girlfriend and a child the stakes couldn't be higher.
After handling a mercurial triple agent and surviving the riots and bombings and assassination attempts, all Duffy wants to do now is live. But in his final days in charge of Carrickfergus CID, a missing persons report captures his attention. A fifteen-year-old traveler girl has disappeared and no one seems to give a damn about it. Duffy begins to dig and uncovers a disturbing underground of men who seem to know her very well. The deeper he digs the more sinister it all gets. Is finding out the truth worth it if DI Duffy is going to get himself and his colleagues killed? Can he survive one last case before getting himself and his family out over the water?

"The welcome return of Sean Duffy."

- source: Don Winslow, #1 internationally bestselling author
- content:
"Adrian McKinty is a gifted storyteller I love to read, and Sean Duffy is a character you will never forget."
- premium: False
- source: Washington Post
- content:
"The story is infested with operatives of the IRA and the Ulster Volunteer Force, double agents, triple agents, hit squads, junkies, and murderers, all served up with mordant wit, erudition, and stylistic panache. It's another superb outing for Duffy."
- premium: False
- source: The Guardian (London)
- content:
"There's an ambivalence about almost every aspect of the book, including Duffy himself. He's a Catholic in the RUC, a man out of sync. The Troubles weave in and out of the narratives, reminding us of what an extreme time it was. These are crime novels that are unafraid to explore the complications of living at a time when which church you went to could be enough to get you killed."
- premium: False
- source: Murder, Mayhem, and Long Dogs
- content:
"The writing is first-rate, and the story commands attention from the opening pages...The Detective Up Late is a fine piece of crime fiction and is one of my favorites of the year so far. Once more McKinty sets the standard for clever, reflective novels of detection."

- content:
"Written with style, lyricism, and wry dark humor, nobody writes literary crime fiction like Adrian McKinty."
- premium: False
- source: Colin McEnroe, host of Connecticut Public Radio on NPR/PBS

"[McKinty] is not your typical mystery writer, there's a way in which he's overeducated and esoteric...I love him most for his Detective Sean Duffy series."
- premium: False
- source: Southern California News Group
- content:
"You know how the state of the world can sometimes seem irredeemably awful? The fact that we're getting a new Sean Duffy novel from Adrian McKinty is proof that wonderful things happen. Known for bestsellers The Chain and The Island, McKinty has been writing a multinovel masterpiece about a Belfast detective during the Troubles that you need to read. This is the seventh book (and not the last, I hear) so start reading now so you'll be ready when it hits stores."
- premium: False
- source: Dayton Daily News
- content:
"Set in Northern Ireland during the period known as the Troubles, these novels are superb...In this new book Duffy is older and wiser. There's lots of action and a sizzling plot."
- premium: False
- source: Concrete Islands
- content:
"A highlight of the year in books was undoubtedly the return of Carrickfergus's finest, DI Duffy...As is always the case with the best crime fiction, it transcends the genre. Not only an exploration of a violent and wild period in history, it tells people's stories, captures the dialogue, and gives you a sense of the times and how they lived through them."
- premium: False
- source: Crime Fiction HQ
- content:
"McKinty manages to draw you right into the story with a writing style that is both descriptive and evocative, yet sparse and direct. The plotting is tight and the characters are brought to life with a simple accented phrase that manages to place them perfectly. The tone is bang on and the dialogue perfectly defines the personality of each successive character Duffy meets."
- premium: False
- source: Mystery & Suspense
- content:
"Superbly written and tightly plotted, this is suspenseful and atmospheric with moments of very high-tension action. Throughout the series, the character development has also been very strong, especially for Duffy who we've seen change from a young, reckless young man to a more mature, more responsible version, but still with his strong sense of justice."
