A new era is dawning in Northern Ireland. Prime Minister elect, Michael Brinn, heralds a new world of peace and prosperity in Northern Ireland. Dan Starkey, wise-cracking, self confessed drunk and journalist, stands alone amidst the flag waving euphoria, steadfastly unconvinced.
With the help of a bemused American journalist, a gun toting nun, a maniac taxi-driver, and a disenchanted wife, Dan Starkey uncovers the truth behind Brinn's rise to power. It is a story of corruption and violence, murder and abduction, that leaves no-one unscathed, least of all Starkey.
