Produktbeschreibung
Roy Weston was born into a wealthy family and raised in a big stone house on a hill overlooking the poor, coal-mining village of Brexley in North Yorkshire, England. Having nearly died of meningitis at the age of three years old, he is bullied by the kids at school until his mother pulls him out of school at the age of ten. His education from that point forward consists of what he learns himself by roaming the streets of the village in the dark and peeping through people's windows. At the age of fourteen, he watches through a window as his football hero, John Finley, attacks a pedophile, meaning to kill him. His friend leaves the building thinking he has done exactly that, but Roy enters afterward, realizes the man is still alive, and finishes the job. And so begins his life of crime.
Autorenporträt
Malcolm was born and raised in a small coal-mining village in South Yorkshire, England. Growing up there was a time of hardship, fear, love, and overwhelming support from family and friends. He was luckier than most to have a marvelous grammar school education. The combination of this education and a head full of stories from this rich environment, have poured out into his novels.
