Belfast 1988: a man has been shot in the back with an arrow. It ain't Injuns and it isn't Robin Hood. But uncovering exactly who has done it will take Detective Inspector Sean Duffy down his most dangerous road yet, a road that leads to a lonely clearing on the high bog where three masked gunmen will force Duffy to dig his own grave.
Hunted by forces unknown, threatened by Internal Affairs and with his relationship on the rocks, Duffy will need all his wits to get out of this investigation in one piece.

Adrian McKinty has come up with an unforgettable title for the latest terrific novel in his superb DI Sean Duffy series, which is set in Northern Ireland. Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly (Serpent's Tail £12.99) is a line from a song by Tom Waits, and it perfectly sums up the paranoid atmosphere at Carrickfergus CID in the late 1980s. The murder of a small-time drug dealer doesn't obviously have political implications, but it leads back to the activities of a notorious police unit, the B Specials, in 1968. McKinty moves seamlessly between action and reflection, and his sardonic tone is a delight.

- The London Sunday Times

Police At The Station is another great addition to the series. McKinty's hero is irreverent, charming, and mordantly, laugh-out-loud funny, and his eclectic personal soundtrack and bitter, pragmatic politics make for vivid period detail.

- Kirkus starred review

Duffy's investigation into the death of a pusher takes him down some dangerous roads, always checking under his Beemer for a mercury tilt switch bomb before he careens off in it. Driving it all is McKinty's compelling literary style: Duffy's first-person narrative and internalized musing are lyrical and lengthy at first, then reduced intermittently to terse one sentence statement
