Inspired by true events
by Kevin Clarke
Bad Boy is an observation of lost values.
When a newcomer arrives in Northumberland and wins the trust of a local family, life changes dramatically for 'Our Kid.' Mick.
With a subsequent secret friendship with the unscrupulous Sean Fitzpatrick; a new world of forbidden love, deceit and betrayal replaces a devoted family life for Mick Collins as he encounters an exciting world of espionage and deceit, interwoven with the serene beauty of Ireland and one man's struggle for notoriety and belonging, leaving the other coming to terms with a community long lost.
Highlighting conflicting moral codes, the story gathers pace, culminating in a hauntingly foreboding climax.
“Where's my brother? My hero-protector Sean Fitzpatrick?”
Mick Collins
I live in Wooler, a small village close to England's border with Scotland. My home town still maintains a natural charm and beauty and my books reflect my life here.
I've seen the world and been inspired by some interesting people and experiences. I am lucky enough to say that I enjoyed it all, although I'm always happiest when I come home to Wooler. Bad Boy is the fifth in a series of my own 'memory books.' Writing down my memoirs, reflecting my life experiences and influences was a specific wish of my late mother, therefore I continue. My family have a rich and deep history that I continue to investigate, therefore my next edition, "Roxanne," continues this tradition and you will soon see this edition here on Books.by very soon. Thanks for stopping by.
