Book Description

24 April 2014

When billionaire's daughter Alison Wolff disappears following a massacre at a party, nobody knows if she has been kidnapped or killed. Dan Starkey is hired to find the missing student but instead is drawn into a violent struggle between rival gangs.

A drugs war is tearing the city apart and in response, a new church movement has sprung up. But when a controversial new abortion clinic is firebombed, Dan is asked to prove their involvement.

In a Belfast rapidly descending back into chaos, Dan is left with an impossible choice - betray his client or risk losing his family...

4.0 out of 5 stars Quirky and dark. Bateman up to standard. 29 Oct 2013
Format:Paperback
Fire & Brimstone is another Dan Starkey thriller from Colin Bateman and I think it's well up to his usual high standard.
This time round, Starkey is searching for the missing, presumed dead, daughter of a billionaire media mogul. Meanwhile, there's trouble with Starkey's ex wife Trish and his extended family. During Dan's search for the girl whose real identity is only know to a few, the plot veers off to cover the firebombing of a Belfast abortion clinic and the activities of a cult religion, known as "The New Seekers". On top of that are vicious turf wars involving Belfast drug gangs and the dealing in a new drug called "Crush". As usual, Dan's muddled investigative techniques - with the aid of a female reporter from his former newspaper - lead him into trouble. He is caught in the middle of the gang wars and the machinations of the New Seekers. With several twists towards the end (although I have to boast that I saw one of them coming) the chances of Dan and Trish surviving seem slim. Violence is everywhere and some familiar faces appear to help or hinder Dan on his way to finding the missing girl, dead or alive. Thrills and smiles aplenty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dan Starkey in an Alternative Ulster 24 Nov 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
Another foray in to the world of Dan Starkey the book is set in a alternative Ulster where the terrorists are replaced with Drug gangs and religious cults.

Plot - Dan Starkey is hired to search for the missing daughter of a Billionaire as usual there is the witty dialogue you get in a Bateman novel and Dan Starkey is a old stalwart so in some ways it is easy to slip in to the ebb and flow of the plot.

Overall a very good read if you Bateman then I don't think you will be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dans getting slow in his old age 30 Oct 2013

Just get the impression that Dan is slowing down in his old age. Certainly doesn't seem as lively as he once was. Its still classic Bateman in style but call me spoilt , not enough happening these days...

5.0 out of 5 stars Er.... 30 Dec 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
I don't normally do this, but just to point out that the previous review is by someone who tried and failed to buy the rights to the Dan Starkey character. He's entitled to his opinion, of course, but it might be useful to know the background. Obviously I think the book is great :-)))

Great, probably the funniest Dan Starkey so far. Could anyone be so inept and so lucky at the same time. Dan Starkey can. Laughed out loud.
