The Horse with My Name

By: Colin Bateman

Narrated by: Gerard Ban-Lavery

Ex-journalist Dan Starkey is stuck in a grimy Belfast bedsit. His life is a disaster, and his only solace is the pub round the corner. He really, really needs something to get his teeth into. Fellow ex-journalist Mark Corkery provides that something. Corkery, an Internet horseracing gossip, wants him to investigate Geordie McClean, the man behind Irish American Racing.

Simple enough for a man with Dan's experience, surely? But Trouble is Dan's middle name. And trouble is what he finds.
