In Belfast in 1990, 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 on terrorist cases, only crime. But there is no crime. Only terrorism.
Carlo Fontaine leads the IRA’s ‘Nutting Squad’, tasked with finding and killing informants. But he is also the biggest informant the British Security Service has.
Fergie Devine can pass himself off to all sides and is happy to help anyone, just as long as murder is involved.
And Harry still has to work out who he is.
Dead On by Bryan J Mason is published on 5 November, 2025. It’s his second Harry & The Squad novel.
Read Bryan’s feature about how he tackled a time of trouble and murder with… humour.
