Several of Bateman's novels featured the semi-autobiographical Belfast journalist, Dan Starkey.His book Murphy's Law was adapted from the BBC television series Murphy's Law (2001–2007), featuring James Nesbitt. Bateman explains on his website that "Murphy`s Law was written specifically for James Nesbitt, a local actor who became a big TV star through Cold Feet. The ninety minute pilot for Murphy's Law on BBC 1 was seen by more than seven million people, and led to three TV series, on which I was the chief writer."His children's book Titanic 2020 has been shortlisted for the 2008 Salford Children's Book Award.Much of his work is produced under the name "Bateman" (rather than his full name); his 2007 novel I Predict a Riot bears (among others) the dedication: "For my Christian name, gone but not forgotten".

2020 год. В Белфасте построено чудо техники - новый "Титаник". Прапрадедушка 13-летнего Джимми Армстронга утонул на старом "Титанике" в 1912 году, и с тех пор все в их семействе идет наперекосяк.
