Dead I Well May Be
Dead I Well May Be | Adrian McKinty
5 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
Part 1 of The Dead Trilogy An illegal immigrant escaping the troubles in Belfast, young Michael Forsythe is strong and clever and fearless-just the man to be tapped by crime boss Darkey White to lead a gang of Irish thugs against the rising Dominican powers in Harlem and the Bronx. The time is pre-Giuliani New York, when crack rules the city and hundreds are murdered every month. Michael and his lads tumble through the streets, shaking down victims, drinking hard, and fighting block by bloody block. Soon Darkey anoints Michael his rising star. But when Michael seduces his boss's girl, the saucy, fickle Bridget, things quickly go south-south to Mexico, that is. Double-crossed and left to die in a Mexican prison, Michael plots his return to New York, there to wreak terrible vengeance on his betrayers. A natural storyteller with a gift for dialogue, McKinty delivers an explosive adventure in the underworld of organised crime, complete with Irish lilt. 'McKinty is one of Britain's great contemporary crime writers and the Sean Duffy books are his masterpiece.' IAN RANKIN

Adrian McKinty does it again, really love the character in this book, but he certainly went through sone trials and tribulations. Could have well been called An Irishman in Harlem. Look forward to getting to the second book in the series.

Andrew65 @EadieB Have you read this series? (edited) 2y
EadieB @Andrew65 Yes I have read the first two books but still have to read 2y
Andrew65 @EadieB This one was another good read. 2y
EadieB I also own a couple of his other books that I need to read: Orange Rhymes With Everything, Hidden River, Falling Glass and The Sun is God. 2y
EadieB Just noticed he has a new book coming out in 2022 called 2y
Andrew65 @EadieB I spotted that one too, he does write good books. 2y
EadieB @Andrew65 I hope we can get it through Netgalley. I just requested it. @Tove_Reads (edited) 2y
Andrew65 @EadieB In the U.K. on NetGalley they only have a sample chapter available. 2y
EadieB @Andrew65 That's no help! That's a tease! 2y
Andrew65 @EadieB I know!!!! 😔 2y
EadieB @Andrew65 I guess it will be published in the US first.
Just found this info:
Will there be a new Sean Duffy book?
My plan was to take a hiatus from the Duffy books and write two standalones and then return to the Duffy series possibly publishing book 7 in 2021, book 8 in 2022 and a final book 9 in 2023. ... Book 7 of the Duffy series is in fact finished and Book 8 is pretty much done.

Andrew65 @EadieB Lokks like he is well behind this schedule. 😔 2y
EadieB @Andrew65 I guess he has been busy writing his new book 2y

First I was a bit annoyed about the massive cliches about an Irish lad escaping the old country to stay in NYC. Then I grew to like the story on all its bitterness and hopelessness. Those were the days of N Ireland and the NY connection. Who can you trust? Not many. Gangs, killings, not expecting to survive. Kill or get killed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Andrew65 Another good book from Mr McKinty. 4y

Yes! Been looking for this trilogy, but haven‘t been able to get my hand on these books, but now due to the National Emergency Library I can finally read them 🙂

Andrew65 That‘s great, I‘ve been able to find the next Gabriel Allon book which I was struggling to get hold of. 4y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 Such an awesome place! Makes me feel a bit better about the world. So grateful to be able to continue the Alan Banks series, it‘s getting better and better! And the old Follett ones 😍 Well, my list is endless. 4y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Yes, struggling to remember which ones I need to search for. 😂 4y

Tove_Reads @andrew65 I just wish I had all the books “I really need to read, but haven‘t found” in one place. Now they‘re in many places. I wish I would remember all the series we‘ve talked about and I‘ve realized can‘t find them. Like Mika Waltari for you and Doris Lessing for @EadieB 4y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 There are those shortish books I remember you love. LJ Ross or something? 4y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I agree, I need more organisation in the books and series I want. 4y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads yes but they are fairly new so wonder if they will be on there. 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Nice to hear you are finding books that have been hard to get a hold of. I've read this tagged book and enjoyed it but still like Sean Duffy series the best. 4y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 Tell me about it... could we work on this over Easter? Making proper lists together? Btw, can you get The Power Twins? Found it there. Only about 100 pages, but this is my chance to read it, and anything Follett writes I read! @EadieB 4y
Andrew65 @EadieB We need more Sean Duffy! @Tove_Reads 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I just downloaded (edited) 4y
