I let You go by Clare McKintosh
When a small boy is killed by a hit and run driver DI Ray Stevens and DC Kate Evans pull out all the stops to find the driver.  However their investigation takes them to the darkest recesses of the human heart.  This is a story about grief, fear and tenacity.  It has some fantastic twists that take it to a new dimension.  It is at once thrilling and haunting.

GunStreet Girl by Adrian McKinty
The plot starts with DS “Crabbie” McCrabban calling Duffy up and asking for his advice on a double murder – a wealthy couple found shot dead whilst apparently watching television.  The dead couple’s son, Michael Kelly, is missing and it soon looks like he has a likely motive for the murder – what else would you expect from a disgruntled university dropout?  After Michael Kelly is found dead in an apparent suicide Duffy’s even more reluctant to get involved.  He’s far more interested in some “off the record discussions” with Sara Prentice, a reporter from the Belfast Telegraph.
