Colin Bateman is a fantastically original writer. His plots are endlessly inventive and duck and dive with razor-edged wit and pitch-black humour. Bateman's back with a fast-paced, unforgettable story of murder, intrigue and reincarnation on the streets of Belfast.Die-hard copper Superintendent James 'Marsh' Mallow, of the Belfast CID, is nearing the end of his career, but he's not handing in his badge until he's nailed notorious politician and racketeer Pink Harrison. Problem is, take Pink Harrison down, and trouble of the full-scale More... rioting kind is likely to flare up.
Walter has a rubbish job but so has Margaret, a security guard at Primark, and when they meet through a dating agency, neither is who they seem. Margaret's married for a start and Walter's encounter with her husband Billy leaves him black and blue. Billy's a dodgy accountant for Pink Harrison, who is about to come unstuck.
Meanwhile Redmond O'Boyle, professional terrorist and occasional birdwatcher, is languishing in a Colombian jail and his only way out is to kill himself and trust in reincarnation.
