Falling Glass
Richard Coulter is a man who has everything. His beautiful new wife is pregnant, his upstart airline is undercutting the competition and moving from strength to strength, his diversification into the casino business in Macau has been successful, and his fabulous Art Deco house on an Irish cliff top has just been featured in Architectural Digest. But then, for some reason, his ex-wife Rachel doesn’t keep her side of the custody agreement and vanishes off the face of the earth with Richard’s two daughters. Richard hires Killian, a formidable ex-enforcer for the IRA, to track her down before Rachel, a recovering drug addict, harms herself or the girls. As Killian follows Rachel’s trail, he begins to see that there is a lot more to this case than first meets the eye and that a thirty-year-old secret is going to put all of them in terrible danger.

Adrian McKinty
Adrian McKinty writes crime fiction where the ordinary collides with the unforgiving, and the tension never lets go. Born in Belfast in 1968, he grew up amid the Troubles, a backdrop of political unrest and divided loyalties that quietly shaped his sense of morality and justice. Those early experiences of a society on edge became the heartbeat of his fiction, giving his novels a texture that’s both authentic and unsettling.
He first gained attention with the Sean Duffy series, beginning with The Cold Cold Ground, which follows a Catholic detective navigating the perilous landscape of 1980s Northern Ireland. McKinty’s work is defined by its moral complexity, unflinching realism, and darkly intelligent humor. He doesn’t just tell crime stories; he immerses readers in the pressures of a world where every choice carries weight and consequences are inevitable.
