The Bomb Maker's Apprentice

About the Book

A hired assassin killed Richard Barton’s younger brother. While wading through his own grief, Richard’s parents pressure him to find this killer and bring closure to the family tragedy. To do so, Richard must walk a dark path and join a criminal organisation. It takes months of violent tests and trials for Richard to finally get inside as part of the team. As an ex-soldier, Richard thinks he’s witnessed the worst of humanity, but he’s wrong. The brutality he now sees, surrounded by villains, is more horrible than he could have imagined. If Richard wants justice, he might have to become monstrous himself. More than that, he must be careful and not ask too many questions because the wrong question could mean death.

About the Author

I left school at the age of 15, was sent to work on the pit- head picking stone out of the coal. I also covered as what they called the bogy brat, When the bogy came off it's tracks I had to climb up the slag heap and get it back on. Later spent years in H.M forces, after which I drove trucks Long distance. I always carried a notebook and pen, constantly writing my experiences, describing scenes and people. I could say I was a natural storyteller, which earned me a few smacks on the head at school. I never thought I was good enough to get anything published and when I retired and had time on my hands I thought what the hell, go for it.
