Présentation de l'éditeur

Peter Kingston is an ambitious journalist in his early twenties, working for a regional newspaper. He spends his days covering court cases, community events and gossip, but he yearns to travel the world and write stories of strange and exotic lands. Peter's life changes forever when a colleague encounters the notorious, international drug baron - the Powder Man - with violent consequences. This stroke of bad luck for his colleague unexpectedly opens the door for Peter to travel Europe and get paid into the bargain, accompanied by his beautiful photographer girlfriend, Sue. Peter might have thought twice about leaving his home comforts behind, however, if he could have foreseen the dangers he was about to face and just how close he would come to a violent and bloody end, when mistaken identity collides with global corruption and organised crime. And the Powder Man is always only one step behind...

Biographie de l'auteur

Paul Youden began his career in journalism at the Kent Messenger and attended journalism college for four years. Once qualified, he became a senior journalist with the Kentish Express, rising to County News Editor. He then worked for BBC Radio (South East) and was headhunted by the Port of Dover, where he was in charge of press, PR and marketing. He remained there for twenty years, rising to Corporate Affairs Manager, but took early retirement in the 1990s to return to full-time writing, producing travel books on motoring and skiing, after which he set up his own travel website. With his wife's terminal illness, he had to give up many of his travels and cut back on his writing, but in 2014 attempted his first novel The Powder Man. He is currently working on the sequel.
