Murder in the Shadow of the Troubles
In Northern Ireland, May 1981, Detective Sean Duffy stands over a body in a burnt-out car. The Troubles are at their peak-Bobby Sands is dying on hunger strike in the Maze Prison while the world focuses on Lady Diana's wedding preparations. As a Catholic cop in the predominantly Protestant Royal Ulster Constabulary, Duffy walks a dangerous line every day. What appears to be a standard paramilitary execution has one disturbing detail: a severed hand placed on the accelerator. When forensic pathologist Dr. Laura Cathcart reveals the hand belongs to someone else-likely a sixty-year-old guitarist-and finds a rolled-up musical score from Puccini's "La Boheme" hidden in the victim's body, Duffy realizes this is no ordinary killing. The morning ritual of checking under his car for mercury-tilt bombs is as routine as brushing his teeth in a place where police officers are prime targets. Every bump during his drive triggers waves of panic as he imagines the deadly physics of a mercury switch completing its circuit.
