Add to basketColin Bateman's hugely witty new novel will take you to the darker corners of a city bursting with intrigue, extortion, greed, love, murder, carrot cake and every twist, turn and outrage of human behaviour in between. A city moves in mysterious ways. Walter has a rubbish job but so has Margaret, a security guard at Primark, and when they meet through a dating agency, neither is who they seem. Margaret's married for a start and Walter's encounter with her husband Billy leaves him black and blue. Billy's a dodgy accountant for politician and racketeer (who can tell them apart?) Pink Harrison who has fingers in so many pies he's about to get them burnt. Superintendent James Mallow, CID, a hardened copper at the end of his career, is determined to nail Pink and when a dismembered body is discovered, Mallow thinks he's got his man. Meanwhile Redmond O'Boyle, professional terrorist and occasional birdwatcher, is languishing in a Columbian jail and his only way out is to kill himself and trust in reincarnation. The delicate threads of the city weave and interweave until its clear somebody's got something on somebody else.
