Mercury tilt bombs, Castle Carrickfergus, Jimmy Savile, the Troubles, Belfast, Coronation Road, atrocious scandals, a locked room murder, copious pints of beer, plenty of illicit substances, Steve Reich and other obscure minimalist music . . . this all adds up to another excellent Sean Duffy crime novel: Rain Dogs.
Sounds like a mashup of Dustin Hoffman movies--Straw Dogs and Rain Man.
ReplyDeleteWasn't there a Tom Waits album of the same name?
ReplyDeleteAlso, the Troubles always remind me of "Troubled Times."
