Produktbeschreibung

Set in Belfast after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 2000. Cool Water is the story of the inter-twined relationship between the establishment and street criminals during this period. Donny Campbell is an infamous paramilitary figure, who is a reflection of a violent society. He is sexually repressed and vents his anger and sexual frustration in a cocktail of violence and warped depravity, ultimately hidden in a world where murder and immorality is almost a part of the norm. Donny finds a kindred spirit in Lord Roddy Harding, a man working in the highest echelons of Ulster and London society. Their relationship fractures when Donny becomes a liability as he becomes increasingly unstable and reckless. Harding through the guise of the British state despatches one of its prolific foot soldiers to kill Campbell and maintain a fragile peace through an assassination that will save his reputation and that of the Government.

Autorenporträt

Pete was born in West London and became interested in writing at an early age. He began writing plays after success as the drummer in the punk group The Lurkers. An early work, Thank Your Lucky Stars, was performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, running for three weeks to excellent reviews and he has recently had a short play produced at The Bush Theatre in London.

Pete left school at fourteen and did a variety of jobs, mainly working on building sites, but he has also worked in a crematorium and amusement arcades. After drumming in the group - we went on Top of the Pops and other television shows, made albums and toured Europe and the USA - Pete went to university. He has worked as a Support worker for many years in the community with people with learning disabilities and mental health difficulties. For a while Pete lived in West Belfast, where he worked as a project worker in a victim's group; he worked with people living with trauma caused because of the conflict in Ireland.

Cool Water is a work of fiction for adults that falls into social/political realism, but the detailed insights given to the psychological make-up of the main character make it an original piece of work.
