Possibly because it's been tough living with the same name as a Supremes song, possibly because of the indelible horror of one night in his Northern Irish past, Nathan Jones is a man with a temper.
When his girlfriend Lisa leaves him in New York, Nathan has only his new job for company in the liveliest, loneliest city in the world.
Nathan is a security guard at the Empire State Building, recently acquired by computer billionaire, Michael Tate, and about to be visited by President Michael Keneally, an army of FBI men and one George Burley of Alabama, a white supremacist with the President at the top of his assassination Top Ten.
Soon the stage is set for a vintage Bateman adventure, wild, romantic and darkly, dangerously funny. 'Empire State' takes the world of politics – international, racial and sexual – and holds it hostage atop the most famous building on Earth.
"Bateman on epic form in gloriously over-the-top saga"
DAILY TELEGRAPH
"A hugely enjoyable novel...blessed with a beautiful sense of irony...It's like Carl Hiaasen, Tom Wolfe, and Roddy Doyle at their best"
THE HERALD
"There is more to Bateman than a racy plot. His prose is intelligent as well as aesthetically satisfying, his dialogue toughly funny and tone-perfect, his American observations queasily true"
