Teaser Tuesday: 'The Ghosts of Belfast'

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:


Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two teaser sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!

Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.

Today's teaser is from a brutal and intense crime fiction novel I'm reading for a book discussion at 4 Mystery Addicts, a fabulous online group of mystery fans:

The Merc's big engine rumbled into life, and McKenna pulled away. Fegan took one glance from the back window and saw the twelve watching from the pavement.

-- The Ghosts of Belfast by Stuart Neville

The twelve are the ghosts of people Fegan has killed as an Irish Republican thug.
