New novel from bestselling author of Divorcing Jack and starring the inimitable hero Dan Starkey.
Dan Starkey gets caught up in the world of writing (he can handle that) terrorists (he’s been there before) and movie hype (more frightening than anything yet encountered) in a cracking adventure that takes him from Dublin to the Cannes Film Festival.
And it’s not just bullets that Dan is dodging, when a smouldering romance threatens the frequently-rocky balance of his marriage to Patricia.
This novel can be read entirely without reference to the other Starkey books, and may be Bateman’s best yet.
Colin Bateman was born in Northern Ireland in 1962 and educated at Bangor Grammar School before joining the ‘County Down Spectator’, where he became the deputy editor until 1996. In 1990 he received a Journalist’s Fellowship to Oxford University for his reports from Uganda and has received a Northern Ireland Press Award for his weekly satirical column. He won the Betty Trask Award in 1994.
