From the Back Cover
'Divorcing Jack' is the Winner of the Betty Trask Award for 1994
Dan Starkey is a young journalist in Belfast, who shares with his wife, Patricia, a prodigious apetite for drinking and dancing. Then Dan meets Margaret, a beautiful and apparently impoverished student, and things begin to get out of hand. And then, terrifyingly, Margaret is murdered. Is it because of her liaison with Dan? Is it because she was not exactly who she claimed to be? Is it the IRA? A Protestant extremist group? A jealous lover? Before long, Dan is a target himself, running as fast as he can in a race against time to crack the mystery and save his marriage.
Colin Bateman takes the listener on a blackly bitter, savagely funny and frightening walk through a city whose people live in an endless war as if it were peacetime…
“Will do for Belfast and South Armagh what Bram Stoker did for Transylvania”
