Harry Burnard and The Squad

Ideal for fans of Chris Brookmyre, Colin Bateman and Caimh McDonnell. Belfast 1989. The Troubles. Harry Burnard joins a police force confronted with threats on every side. His team, ‘The Squad’, a bunch of abandoned oddballs, are only allowed to work criminal cases. But there is no crime. Only terrorism. So, do they really have nothing to do?

Belfast 1990. The Troubles. Murder, identity and … biscuits. Everyone knows who they are and what side they are on. Or do they? Harry Burnard and The Squad are back looking for new criminal cases to work. They are not allowed to work terrorist cases, only crime. But there is no crime, only terrorism.

Belfast, 1991. The Troubles In a city built on secrets, knowing who someone really is can mean the difference between life and death. As the Troubles grind on, fear and suspicion stalk every street. Informers linger in the shadows. Behind closed doors, collusion thrives as loyalty and violence collide. Detective Harry Burnard and his ragtag unit of misfits, rejects and damaged souls in The Squad have survived bombs, betrayals, biscuits and one another. In There Are No Happy Endings, one final case lands on their desk.
