Adrian McKinty blessing us with two Sean Duffy stories within a month - this audio-only prequel tale, and then Book 8 finally out in English next month (March 2025)! 

"God's Away on Business" takes us through Duffy's first weeks on the Carrickfergus job. We get to see how he first settles up in town, and meet long time partner Crabby. 

It's a short one at under 2 hours listening time, and it's currently an audiobook-only release, but I find I don't mind much when I get to spend time again with Duffy, brought to life by the always brilliant Gerard Doyle. It still delivers on what makes this a series I keep coming back to - the witty prose and puns, the humour, Duffy's clever internal dialogue, pepper in his literary knowledge and excellent music taste and you've got a winner. There's an entire sequence in chapter 9 that had me grinning ear to ear! 

Here's to hoping we get a print release of this!
