Belfast, 2am, Tomb Street. A young man lies dead in an alley. Cracked ribs, broken jaw, fractured skull. With the Celtic Tiger purring and the Troubles in their death throes, Detective Sergeant John O’Neill is called to investigate. Meanwhile O’Neill’s partner, DI Jack Ward, a veteran troubles detective, is receiving death threats from an unknown source…

When Sorrows Come is a brutal exposé of the criminal underworld in the new Northern Ireland, a place where the dead are not all created equal.

Reviews

Sunday Times (Ireland)
[Brings] a Henning Mankell-style realism to the genre
Daily Mirror
Praise for Dark Dawn: You are never going to escape the past in a place like Belfast. When a dead teenager turns up kneecapped ... no one but Acting DS John O'Neill seems particularly bothered. O'Neill has a lot to prove and McGuire handles it brilliantly.
