It was one of the most bizarre episodes in the history of the
Troubles in Northern Ireland: the construction, during the war's
most savage phase, 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 and central
character of this intelligent, witty and moving novel was John
DeLorean, brilliant engineer, charismatic entrepreneur and
world-class conman. He comes to energetic, seductive life through
the eyes of his fixer in Belfast, a traumatised Vietnam veteran,
and of a woman who takes a job in the factory against the wishes of
her husband. Each of them has secrets and desires they dare not
share with anyone they know. A great American hustler brought to
vivid life in the most unlikely setting imaginable.
