    About this ebook

    A book that examines the bizarre actions of some somewhat misguided youths. Misguided by their peers that is, rather than the basic sense of right and wrong they should have learned from their parents. This is a story that can divide opinion, will you think the principle characters are just having some harmless fun or will you think that they are in fact..... just a little bit sick. A black romantic-comedy that describes the perils of being a ‘Wake Crasher’.

    The perpetrators embark on what they see as a bit of harmless fun, a way of getting a few free drinks and a bite to eat at a time when they are struggling to pay the bills in a world of austerity.

    It does not take too long. however, before they realise that there is no such thing as a free ride and that for every action there is a reaction, especially when they dabble in the darker side of life!

    Genuine relationships may have formed, but the principle characters get a little more than they expect from their endeavors. The problem is that the starting point for these new relationships is from a position of deceit and dishonesty. How can that work in a modern world of instant communication, where everyone knows everyone and life is little like living in a goldfish bowl?

    A book that will not only appeal to young adults and teenagers but also those that like to cringe a little!

    Robert Durrant Author

    Robert Durrant is a native Scot living in Edinburgh the capital of Scotland.His interests are broad and includes his time spent writing fiction novels. A process that, by his own admission, can be quite challenging but also, thankfully, hugely rewarding.This is why he wrote his first novel ‘The Wake Crasher’, a humorous look at the darker side of life through the eyes of young adults struggling to make ends meet in a world where austerity is the catchphrase of the decade.Robert has a stressful job managing a large turnover and operating to tight schedules, meaning he understands the need for working to fixed dates. This has helped him to ensure he not only completed his first novel, but now has a second novel ready for publication. No doubt he has drawn on his current and previous experience to fuel the material for his fiction novels, perhaps witnessing, as a police officer, a few events the public would not be privy to.So if you enjoy 'The Wake Crasher' then be sure to look out for his second novel, a thriller called “The Reluctant Killer”, the first in a planned series.
