Book description
Gerry Steel's loyalty to the man he worked for is total, and he will
stop at nothing to ensure that Sullivan, on trial on an attempted murder
charge, goes free.
Once he has fixed the jury, and is assured that it will hang, Steel
assumes there is nothing standing in the way of Sullivan's freedom. And
there isn't - apart from the man himself . . . Donald MacKenzie was
born in Ontario, Canada, and educated in England, Canada and
Switzerland. For twenty-five years MacKenzie lived by crime in many
countries. 'I went to jail,' he wrote, 'if not with depressing
regularity, too often for my liking.' His last sentences were five years
in the United States and three years in England, running consecutively.
He began writing and selling stories when in American jail. 'I try to do
exactly as I like as often as possible and I don't think I'm either
psychopathic, a wayward boy, a problem of our time, a charming rogue. Or
ever was.'
He had a wife, Estrela, and a daughter, and they divided their time
between England, Portugal, Spain and Austria.
