Rain Dogs, McKinty - B+

                  In the fifth in the series, Sean Duffy is assigned a pretty straightforward suicide to investigate. A young woman journalist from London has jumped from the top of the oldest castle in Northern Ireland. The live-in gatekeeper does not know how she evaded his closing search, but he found her in the keep in the morning. Suicide it is until Sean notices her shoes are on the wrong feet. He and Sgt. McCrabbin begin the investigation. There was a Finnish business delegation at the castle that day, and they were escorted by a former policeman now in the security business. Their stories don't add up and Duffy knows he's on to something when an attempt is made on his life. Another great cruise around the Troubles in the late 1980's that ends on a high note with Duffy taking his pregnant girlfriend to the hospital to deliver their daughter.
