Belfast, im Sommer 2014. Überall in der Stadt entfachen Protestanten riesige Freudenfeuer zu Ehren des englischen Königs William von Oranien, der einst das katholische Irland besiegte. Die Lage eskaliert, als ein Video viral geht, in dem ein maskierter »Firestarter« dazu aufruft, die Stadt in Schutt und Asche zu legen. Sammy Agnew ahnt, dass sein Sohn Mark dahintersteckt, denn er kennt die Faszination zerstörerischer Gewalt aus der eigenen Jugend. Längst hat er dem Hass abgeschworen, aber er spürt, dass er nie völlig davon loskommen wird. Soll er seinen Sohn an die Polizei ausliefern, um zu vermeiden, dass die Situation vollends aus dem Ruder läuft? Verzweifelt bittet er den Arzt Jonathan Murray um Rat. Der jedoch befindet sich selbst in einer fatalen Lage. Er fürchtet, seine Tochter könnte allein mit ihrer Stimme Leben zerstören … Mit »Firestarter« hat Jan Carson einen außergewöhnlichen Roman über Nordirland geschrieben, humorvoll und bewegend, schonungslos und doch voller Magie. Aber sie erzählt auch eine universelle Geschichte über Selbstbehauptung und Verantwortung – in einer Welt, die einmal mehr zu entgleisen droht.
