Synopsis
Fast, funny, scary. A truly up-to-the-minute novel set in Belfast from a brilliant new writer. Now a major BBC/Scala film starring David Thewlis and Robert Lindsay.
Dan Starkey is a young journalist in Belfast, who shares with his wife, Patricia, a prodigious appetite 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.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture
"A Joy From Start to finish… Witty, fast-paced and throbbing with menace, divorcing Jack reads like the thirty-nine steps rewritten for the 90's by Roddy Doyle."

"Grabs you by the throat… a magnificent debut. Unlike any thriller you have ever read before…Like the day of the Jackal out of the Marx Brothers."
