Review
Divorcing Jack:
‘As sharp as a pint of snake-bite… Richly paranoid and very funny’ Sunday Times
Product Description
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.
