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. If anyone out there's writing Bateman fan-fic I'd be equally happy to spend more time with the Mrs, who takes no shit.

Hard to credit it, really, but Thewlis hasn't had a lead role since his Cannes-conquering turn as the poetry-spouting and blisteringly nihilistic Johnny in Mike Leigh's Naked in 1993. Starkey realises that Margaret's last words were not divorce Jack, but rather an attempt to say the name of the composer on the tape Starkey had been given earlier, a tape that he had now sold to a street-vendor.Betty Trask Past Winners | Society of Authors – Protecting the rights and furthering the interests of authors". Celé se to odehrává v době, kdy si to protestanti a katolíci rozdávali pěkně na férovku, každou chvíli někdo vyletěl do povětří a na životy lidí se moc nehrálo.

This political background is clarified through the character of visiting Boston Globe journalist Charles Parker (Richard Gant). Northern Irish drunken journalist Dan Starkey, makes his biggest mistake when he beds the girlfriend of a local killer. In 1990 he received a Journalist’s Fellowship to Oxford University for his reports from Uganda, and he has received a Northern Ireland Press Award for his weekly satirical column. Books shipped on receipt of payment, unless required urgently, when alternative arrangements can be made. Given that what’s happening in Northern Ireland isn’t exactly to be taken lightly, it’s to be expected that, in the U.A bold attempt at a comedy-thriller set in the near future in Belfast, this first feature from David Caffrey shows plenty of promise and chutzpah, but veers wildly in tone from sweet romantic comedy to bloody thriller and back again. Based on first impressions I believe I will read more of his books, even if this one did not deliver on all fronts. Journalist Dan Starkey commences an ill thought out affair with Margaret; a woman he meets on one of his solo binges in the Belfast bars. Once on the job, Kane must also deal with a young sharpshooter named Billy Young and a sharp and sassy saloon dancer, Lily. An odd one, definitely, and although I might be tempted to try the next in the series, I don't think I'll be listening to it anytime soon.
