In the morning I'll be gone picks up very quickly after I hear sirens in the street, when Duffy was demoted. The book opens with him high as a kite, playing a video game, and ignoring his pager. He only picks up the phone out of boredom, and learns that several high profile IRA bombers have escaped the H Blocks and are on the loose in Northern Ireland. Nothing happens until he is drummed out of the RUC. And then recruited by MI5, who are trying to catch the nastiest bomber of the group. 

Like the other Sean Duffy books, this one has a murder investigation at the heart of it. In this case, what looks like an accidental death, of the IRA bomber's sister in law. It's a perfect locked room mystery, this investigation.

As usual, real people play and events play important parts in the story - Joseph Kennedy's visit to Belfast and the Brighton bombing. It's a fascinating look into Northern Ireland.
