Review
"'If Raymond Chandler had grown up in Northern Ireland, The Cold Cold Ground is what he would have written' (Peter Millar, Times) 'The names of David Peace and Ellroy are evoked too often in relation to young crime writers, but McKinty shares their method of using the past as a template for the present. The Cold Cold Ground is a crime novel, fast-paced, intricate and genre to the core.' (Eoin McNamee, Guardian) 'Detective Sergeant Sean Duffy could well become a cult figure' (Irish Independent)"
