Media 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 20051126 'The dialogue is extremely funny and Bateman obviously works hard on his easy-going prose' -- Telegraph 20051203 '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 20051210 'Britain's hippest crime novelist comes up with his strongest book to date' -- Esquire 'The bard of Belfast is on a roll...
