The Devil’s Cut – Phillip Jordan

Belfast is reeling.

A brutal strangler stalks the streets, their weapon of choice—a length of barbed wire torn from sectarian barricades. Each death serves as a grim reminder of fractured loyalties and reopens old wounds.

Detective Constable Charlie Whittaker is no stranger to darkness. Haunted by personal tragedy and drowning in whiskey, his grip on the case—and his career—is slipping.
