On The Run

By Charles James

What happens when tree inner city boys, living in poverty, are wrongly accused of a crime? Survival is something upper and middle class people take for granted. They have nice homes and plenty of resources for food, clothing and all the comforts they can afford. It is a different story for the disenfranchised poor. Society has no sympathy for them. Most slide deeper and deeper into the abyss of poverty. In America it is almost a crime to be poor.

On a train headed west, the survival skills of the wrongly accused, Slant McCoy, Mick Slade and Montana Hood will be tested. The law will chase them until they are dead, or caught and brought to justice. They run because that's all they can do.

For about twenty years I ran an immigration and political asylum lawyer practice in Bradford West Yorkshire. Some clients travelled literally hundreds of miles to see me. My business cards were posted to Kurdistan, Georgia, and Pakistan by satisfied clients. I have been active in the Labour Party since I joined in 1972.. Politically my claim to fame is that in 1986 I increased the Labour vote 80% to take the third safest Tory seat on Bradford Council. I increased that vote 47% four years later to record the highest ever vote for any candidate in the ward. My immigration and political asylum experience comes over in the "Don Hewson" series of novels.
