Items related to A Bloody Good Friday
Good Friday, 1977. Merthyr Tydfil. At twenty to midnight a dozen different forces converge - Macky, just out of jail; the gippos and their knives; the Shop Boys, fifty or sixty skinheads in fanatical pursuit of recreational violence; P. C. Phillips, the young copper with something to prove; Mohan Singh, proud owner of the Taj Mahal curry house. The result: mayhem. 'RACE RIOT ERUPTS IN VALLEYS TOWN'. And witness to it all, Davey Daunt, a spazzy with a leg brace, the only one who knows what really happened.

Review:
"'An unmissable writer'" (GQ)
"A skilful tying together of the viewpoints of a disparate range of characters-great dialogue and a vividly evoked setting" (Scotland of Sunday)
"This action-filled novel also contains its fair share of lyrical moments and saddened contemplation" (Sunday Times)
"His portrait of a damaged loner having to question his faith is drawn with sensitivity and compassion" (TLS)
"'Barry writes sparse, powerful prose, has a good ear for dialogue and conjures up an evocative snapshot of chaotic, outlaw lives in Methyr Tydfil at the fag-end of the 1970s'" (Big Issue)
