Scrapyard Blues
by Derryl Flynn
Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. How did one crazy night of excess end up with 25 years behind bars?
Out on licence, Jack Smith is determined to find the real killer and bring them to justice. But before he can pursue the quest to clear his name, he first has to assuage the demons that reside inside his head and haunt his nightmares; rid himself of the darkness that continues to taunt, torment and test his sanity.
Other distractions come in the shape of a sultry female lawyer whose practice methods aren't always entirely ethical. And a trip to India in search of an elusive butterfly, the daughter he hasn't seen since she was two.
Mistrusting of a legal system that has already failed him, Jack decides to take the law into his own hands, but unbeknown to him, someone else is on a mission to catch a killer ...
Scrapyard Blues is a pulsating story of one man's quest for redemption and reconnection with a life lost.
Reviews
