In 2016 I did my first interview with Adrian McKinty. It wasn't easy to
arrange. Here's what I wrote at the time:
"Adrian McKinty is my favorite Irish crime writer. I have wanted to
interview him for years. This interview took a long time to happen.
Years, actually. McKinty is the author of a series that is set in
Northern Ireland during the period known as The Troubles.
During this interview the author explains how difficult it was to write
these books. He had been discouraged in doing so because people kept
telling him that nobody wanted to read about that dark period or
remember it. But McKinty persevered. I'm so glad that he did."
Adrian is back with yet another Sean Duffy. Is this the best one yet? I
think so. And if you listen in to our latest conversation you'll find
out he agrees with me. It is the best. Will it be the last one? Perhaps.
Or maybe not. I seem to recall seeing a title for the next one? I think
it is supposed to be called "The Ghosts Of Saturday Night" but Adrian
didn't say anything about it? Now where did I see that? Was it
Wikipedia? Well, that explains it.
