Book Description

What is wrong with me? Why can't I be like everyone else?

Stephen McBride is a little shy, but he's a good kid doing the best he can to survive in a rough neighborhood. When a gust of wind sweeps a £10 note off the counter to land at his feet, he thinks his luck is in. He crouches down, seizes the note, and stuffs it into his pocket.

Sometimes when you least expect it what seems like fortune's kindly smile turns out to be a mask that conceals the start of a nasty downward spiral. And so it is with Stephen. His decision to hang onto the £10 sends his life spinning out of control along a pathway of criminality and deception driven by fear, naivety and the villainous Archie Stewart.

Stephen will need all the courage he can muster to survive. But does he have what it takes to escape Archie's clutches, or will he fail and be forever bound to his enemy?
