Product Description

It was one of the most bizarre episodes in the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland: the construction of a factory in West Belfast to make a luxury sports car with gull-wing doors.

Huge subsidies were provided by the British government. The first car rolled off the line during the appalling hunger strikes of 1981.

The prime mover & central character of this intelligent, witty & moving novel is John De Lorean. A brilliant engineer, charismatic entrepreneur & world-class conman. He comes to energetic, seductive life through the eyes of his fixer in Belfast, a traumatised Vietnam veteran, & of a woman who takes a job in the factory against the wishes of her husb&.

Each of them has secrets & desires they dare not share with anyone they know...
