Black Night at Big Thunder Mountain

Sam believes himself to be on a mission to depose Mickey Mouse and to restore to Disney World its ‘lost’ figurehead. Ilse Klein – a German canteen assistant who can fry fifty eggs at once – and Raymond Black – a Northern Irish construction worker – are his hostages. As a siege develops round the mountain, the novel reaches back into the lives of these three characters, from post-war Stuttgart to sixties Berlin; from latter-day Belfast, to present day Los Angeles and Paris.
