The Dead Yard (by Adrian McKinty) app for iPhone and iPad

THE DEAD YARD by Adrian McKinty (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

Winner of an Audie® and an Earphones® Award.

Mercenary Michael Forsythe is on holiday in Spain when he ends up in a Spanish prison after a soccer riot. To avoid extradition to Mexico, he agrees to infiltrate an IRA sleeper cell in the U. S., a nightmare world of political terrorists, murder and mayhem.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audios narrator Gerard Doyle, winner of an Audie® Award, as well as more than ten Earphones® Awards. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Another stunning performance.…McKinty’s complex plotting and Doyle’s extraordinary portrayal will leave listeners craving more.” (AudioFile)

Michael is on holiday in Spain when a soccer riot escalates out of control and he winds up in a Spanish prison. Enter Samantha, a beautiful British Intelligence agent. She makes Michael an offer he can’t refuse: instead of extradition to Mexico to serve time for a prison break, he can infiltrate an IRA sleeper cell in the United States. Thrust into the nightmare world of men known for their distinctive brands of torture and revenge, Michael crosses and double-crosses key players, narrowly escapes his own lies, loses his only ally, and falls for the daughter of his enemy.
