Detective Inspector Sean Duffy, the hero of Adrian McKinty’s series of crime novels set in Northern Ireland in the 1970s and ‘80s, lives in a three-bedroom terrace house on Coronation Road in the town of Carrickfergus, near Belfast. “I put him in the house I grew up in,” says McKinty, who was born in Carrickfergus and bases much of his fiction on people he knew and events that took place there during his childhood.
