Alexandra Ford

The dark story of three people who become playthings of the devil: a man, Shawshank, human enough but with a glee for spoiling people’s lives. There’s what looks at first like a normal sexual triangle: a girl, Pumpgirl, who works in the local garage and thinks she’s one of the lads; a freewheeling jack-the-lad, Hammy, who’s in love with no-one but himself; and a woman, Sinead, neglected, lonely, out looking for a joyride of her own. Three people, one night; a night of sex and violence, resulting in consequences - and not just for them alone.

Jack Kelly is a successful novelist who leads a reclusive life in his apartment in Paris. His first novel, Made in Belfast, was a critical and commercial success – there was only one problem: it exposed the private lives and innermost secrets of his close friends and family, and none of them have spoken to him since he ran away. But when circumstances conspire to bring him back to his hometown for a few days, he decides to spend that time putting things right with the friends he betrayed, the brother he abandoned, and the fiancée he jilted.

Violence erupts in north Belfast when the residents of Glenbyrn, a predominantly Protestant suburb, object to schoolgirls walking through their neighbourhood from the Catholic area of Ardoyne to the Holy Cross primary school.

Mais son double jeu est découvert par ses compagnons d'armes. Il va devoir choisir entre sa propre sécurité et celle de sa famille. Pour l'heure, il tente de ménager les deux, même s'il connaît le châtiment que les terroristes réservent à ceux qui les ont trahis : la mort. Martin s'interroge : peut-être n'a-t-il pas pris la bonne décision...
