Dan Starkey is a young journalist in Belfast, who shares with his wife Patricia a prodigious appetite for drinking and partying. Then Dan meets Margaret, a beautiful student, and things begin to get out of hand.
Terrifyingly, Margaret is murdered and Patricia kidnapped. Dan has no idea why, but before long he too is a target, running as fast as he can in a race against time to solve the mystery and to save his marriage.
"A joy from start to finish…Witty, fast-paced and throbbing with menace, 'Divorcing Jack' reads like 'The Thirty-Nine Steps' rewritten for the '90s by Roddy Doyle"
TIME OUT
"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"
SUNDAY PRESS
"Fresh, funny…an Ulster Carl Hiaasen"
MAIL ON SUNDAY
"Will do for Belfast and South Armagh what Bram Stoker did for Transylvania"
