Publisher's Summary
Michael is on holiday in Spain when a soccer riot between the Paddies and the Brits escalates out of control and he winds up in a Spanish prison. Enter Samantha, a beautiful British Intelligence agent. She makes Michael an offer he can't refuse: instead of extradition to Mexico to serve time for a prison break, he can infiltrate an IRA sleeper cell in the United States. Thrust into the nightmare world of men known for their distinctive brands of torture and revenge, Michael crosses and double-crosses key players, narrowly escapes his own lies, loses his only ally, and falls for the daughter of his enemy.

Better and better
There isn’t a McKinty book I haven’t loved and this one was an absolute cracker. Can’t remember the last time I’ve been that tense - this is about as perfect as a genre like this can get.
Also a huge call out to narrator Gerard Doyle. He was on song with his superb reading of the Sean Duffy series and is as brilliant in this Forsythe series. Amazing!
I need to start the next book NOW!!!!!

I had to keep working in the garden till the end.
Would you consider the audio edition of The Dead Yard to be better than the print version?
I have not read the book but the narration is so good I don't think the book could be better.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dead Yard?
The final scenes at the Dead Yard itself were riveting. Had to listen right to the end. Can't wait to read the third book in the series now.
Have you listened to any of Gerard Doyle’s other performances? How does this one compare?
This is my sixth Gerard Doyle book performance.. They are all excellent and this is up with them all.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There was never a dull moment.
Any additional comments?
A most enjoyable book. You have to be prepared for a bit of swearing and violence of course.

Can’t get enough!
Everything about the way Adrian McKinty writes and Gerard Doyle narrates is magic! I can’t get enough of these and the Sean Duffy books. I will be bereft when I’m through them all.

McKinty does it again
I am now a devoted McKinty fan, but only if it's narrated by Gerard Doyle. Highly recommend. This is book 2 of 3 books. Also recommend the Detective Sean Duffy Series set in Belfast.

Saved by Gerard Doyle
This time Michael is up against an incompetent if brutal American IRA splinter group. Improbably he falls for a very annoying teenager, and confesses to being an informant for the FBI. Predictably it ends badly. The scenes set in the smokehouse need some serious editing. I got to the point where I would have rather they just killed our hero than have to keep listening. Gerard Doyle’s wonderful accent and voice saved the day.

Brilliant Narator
Doyle has to be one of the best, if not the very BEST Narrator I have ever been lucky to listen to. I will listen to him any time

WOW WOW WOW
Why don't they make movies that have great stories like this... instead of those ridiculous Marvel superhero pieces of extravagant trash... Anyhow loved this audiobook ...well done Gerard Doyle on narration and excellent exciting thrilling suspenseful realistic and gritty writing by Adrian McKinley....I came in on the second book (which is this one) there are three in the series so I have read the third and am I looking forward to the first one... I personally do not mind blood and gore in a story but a little warning to those that are perhaps more sensitive, that there are some graphic torture scenes....
