Synopsis

Against a background of national industrial unrest, a small group of ordinary shipyard labourers fight a David and Goliath battle against organised crime as they battle to save their workplace from being taken over. They struggle to find enough money to survive during a series of unofficial strikes, which are endangering the yard's very survival. When they discover that an American crime syndicate is behind the yard's industrial disputes, proposed takeover and the death of a workmate, things really start to move.

About the Author

In the year 2000 John Ruttley retired as an area manager for a large insurance company after 21 years in the industry. But, in the 1970s he worked in a shipyard. He has used his, and his family's (almost all the male members of his family had worked in shipyards since the early 1800s); shipyard experiences to give this book a flavour all of its own. The author was a runner up in an Orange/BBC short story writing competition and has previously published two other local interest, non-fiction books, 'Mowbray the people's Park' and 'Prisoners In The North', both of which are still in print.
