Book description
It's just days after the Folkapalooza concert and having saved the
world, Twenty Major is looking forward to some R&R but little does
he know that his murky past is about to catch up with him ... Notorious
Dublin gangster Tony Furriskey is calling in his marker. Years ago he
helped Twenty and Jimmy the Bollix out of a hole and the time has come
for them to repay the favour ... or end up swimming with the Dublin Bay
prawns. Tony's youngest daughter, is about to marry a man he thoroughly
disproves of and it's down to Twenty and Jimmy to make sure the wedding
doesn't happen. They must follow the young man and his pals to Barcelona
where the stag weekend is taking place, infiltrate the stag party and
make sure, one way or another, that the wedding doesn't happen. But will
Twenty's Barcelona past catch up with him? Which one of the group finds
true love at last? And can they put down the cheap mojitos long enough
stop the wedding? In the city of Gaudi and Picasso, Twenty, Jimmy,
Stinking Pete and Dirty Dave are more gaudy and pickarse-o as they try
and enjoy the Mediterranean sun while getting the job done. 'The child
of Wodehouse, Python and, especially, Flann O'Brien.' Twenty Major was
born some years ago in Dublin, Ireland. He lives on, or around, the
South Circular Road with a dog called Bastardface and a cat called
Throatripper. He spent his formative years on the streets of Dublin
playing football, kick the can and robbing blind people with collection
tins. After many years of training he became the youngest fully
qualified shepherd in Ireland and by the time he was thirty he was a
Shepherd Master. His best friend is called Jimmy the Bollix and they
drink, on a daily basis, in Ron's bar. He was nominated for the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1984 but was beaten to the gong by Bishop Desmond Tutu
who ran a vigorous dirty tricks campaign against him. He has never
forgiven Tutu and will one day have his revenge. His other mortal
enemies include Daryl Hall, LL Cool J (who stole his rap) and any kind
of clown. Twenty Major wrote a daily blog at www. twentymajor. net which
was amongst the most widely read and popular in Ireland.
