About this listen

 In this concluding book of Adrian McKinty's highly praised Dead series, Michael Forsythe confronts his former lover and archrival, Bridget, a New York Irish Mob boss.

Michael has survived his infiltration of an IRA splinter cell in Boston, and now, his many near fatal wounds healed, he begins his next adventure as manager of hotel security in Lima, Peru. It is there that he is contacted by Bridget, whose fiancé he killed.

Bridget, calling from Dublin, says that her 11-year-old daughter has been kidnapped. Michael's choice is to fly to Dublin and help her find the girl, or be executed at the hands of Bridget's goons, who are holding him at gunpoint. He agrees to nothing, but is soon on the way to Dublin, leaving the first two of many dead bodies in his wake.

Don't miss these other noir thrillers in the Michael Forsythe series: Dead I Well May Be (Unabridged) and The Dead Yard (Unabridged).©2007 Adrian McKinty (P)2007 Blackstone Audio Inc. Mystery Exciting Scary

Critic reviews

"[H]is most visceral, satisfying effort yet....McKinty writes masterful action scenes, and he whips up a frenzy as the bullets begin to fly." (Publishers Weekly)
"[O]utpaces its immediate predecessor, The Dead Yard...with [McKinty's] trademark dark lyricism, one great red herring, and a masterful plot twist that brings Forsythe's character full circle in a lightning flash." (Booklist)

As with all of Adrian McKinty’s books this is brilliantly written and impossible to put down. Gerard Doyle is an excellent reader whose accents are fluent amazing and accurate. It’s just a shame that the lead character is psychopathic and sadistic - I feel soiled by my engagement with his story. See you in Hell?😈

Forsythe is hateful

A wee bit wordy at times but gripping to the end and an interesting travelogue of Belfast, so it is.

a fitting finale
