Synopsis

Set in the turbulent year 1984, during the Miners' Strike and under the shadow of IRA terrorism, A Loaded Gun takes place against the background of a Britain torn by conflict, its first woman prime minister being determined to re-shape the nation in her own image, which is closer to the vision of the hero, sports centre director Steve, than that of his lover, English literature lecturer Helena. More than one gun is fired in this energetic, pacy love story and political thriller.

Media Reviews
'Working class, failed professional footballer meets and falls in love with middle class feminist academic. ... This has the making of an excellent TV thriller.' David Pike; 'A well-crafted thriller that convincingly creates the 1980s. ... an absorbing novel.' Patricia Marsh; 'A valuable novel for those interested in the early days of many of the changes that shape contemporary politics.' Peter Taylor-Gooby
Author Bio
Like Steve Wilson, the hero of this novel, Stuart Hutchinson might have been a professional footballer. Instead he went to university and taught in universities. He's written about novelists from George Eliot to Don DeLillo. In A Loaded Gun he offers a novel about Britain's transformational decade - the 1980s.
