“If you want loyalty, get a dog. If you want chaos, follow Dan Starkey.”
That’s the energy pulsing through The Day of the Jack Russell, Colin Bateman’s darkly funny crime caper featuring the most sarcastic journalist-turned-investigator you’ll ever meet. Think noir, but with a pint in one hand and pure madness in the other.
Dan Starkey isn’t your average sleuth. He’s got a temper, a hangover, and a serious problem with authority. So when he’s hired to track down a missing Jack Russell terrier tied to a bizarre ad campaign, things spiral fast. Petnapping, thugs, murder—it all unravels into something way bigger than anyone signed up for.
But here’s the twist: it’s laugh-out-loud funny. Bateman masterfully blends razor-sharp wit with gritty crime, giving us a plot that’s both absurd and addictive. If you’re into fast-paced dialogue, twisted humor, and mysteries that never take themselves too seriously, this one’s a goldmine.
It’s also wildly clever. Beneath the laughs, Bateman explores media manipulation, political thuggery, and the odd cult obsession with small dogs.
This isn’t just a mystery—it’s an experience. A snappy, chaotic, and oddly heartwarming ride through Belfast’s underworld.
