Adrian McKinty has written a sequel to his previous thriller "Dead I Well May Be," in which protagonist Michael Forsythe must infiltrate the IRA. McKinty (himself a native of Northern Ireland) opens his new book, "The Dead Yard in Spain," with a riot between Irish and English soccer fans. Forsythe ends up in prison, where a sexy British intelligence agent makes Forsythe an offer: infiltrate an IRA group in the U.S. and all charges will be dropped. International intrigue, double-crossing, sexual tension and gritty dialogue ensue, in what is becoming a durable series for McKinty. ($25 / 292 pages / Scribner)
