Description

They say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do. Well, as far as Dan Starkey's concerned, 'they' can stick it where the sun don't shine because right now helping his wife with the unpacking is the least of his worries...

No sooner than Dan has moved into his new Belfast home, his best mate, Mouse, is murdered - leaving him to catch a killer, become Editor of the obscenely successful scandal magazine, Belfast Confidential, and compile the much-coveted Power List

Reviews

Britain's hippest crime novelist comes up with his strongest book to date - Esquire

The bard of Belfast is on a roll... Belfast Confidential is the seventh novel in his equally compelling and darkly humorous Dan Starkey series... Colin Bateman is clearly the right man, in the right place at the right time - Mirror

The dialogue is extremely funny and Bateman obviously works hard on his easy-going prose - Telegraph

A pacey, gritty and often wildly funny slice of Belfast Noir... Comedy, satire, danger and outright farce rattle you through like an express train. Excellent blokeish escapism - The Times
