Description
'I was upstairs with a girl I shouldn't have been upstairs with when my wife whispered in my ear, "You have twenty-four hours to move out"'.
The book that started it all, Bateman's first novel published in 1995. It introduced the world to the hapless, endlessly wily and witty Belfast journalist Dan Starkey. Dan shares with his wife an appetite for drinking and dancing. But when he meets Margaret, things get seriously out of hand. Terrifyingly, unbelievably, she is murdered. Before long Dan is a target himself, racing against time to crack the mystery.Author Bio
