THE BOY FROM BROUGHTY FERRY
Fisherman, Killer, Lover, Cheat. From Drowned Lifeboat Hero To Ruthless Assassin - One Life At A Time!
When nineteen-year-old Broughty Ferry fisherman, Torry Taggart, kills a colleague in a reckless escapade while all in the local community believe him to be aboard the local lifeboat on its final, ill-fated mission, he flees to Ireland. In the village of Brakenhar, he enjoys the endless pleasures of fishing in the sea, gun-running and committing deadly terrorist atrocities. Life is good. Better than that, it's perfect. The best part of all is that Torry isn't even here. He's dead. Were he alive none of this would be possible.
But what will happen when he is discovered by a 'ghost' from his past, blackmailed into betraying his hosts and compelled to return to his home town on the 25th anniversary of his 'death' to face an indifferent mother, a lost love, a daughter he never knew he had - and a mission to assassinate the British prime minister! Will his deadly task succeed or will he find redemption in fatherhood and the fishing community of his birth? Can a dead man with a cold heart live again? Will he be allowed to?
The Boy From Broughty Ferry is raw and brutal; a story of confused relationships and suppressed emotions which explode to the surface in a thrilling finale of stunning turns and shock revelations.
“Torry's turbulent life story keeps you guessing to the end. I sure had a hard job rolling away from it. It just keeps you coming back for more.” - DT, Nebraska
