In the '80s, and after two decades of calm, the slow thaw between Sydney's two ruling underworld families has just ended after nine dealers are gunned down in cold blood by one of their own. Divide and conquer, but someone still needed to take the hit, they just picked the wrong man. After 10 toxic years in foster care, with no family, no friends and no future, Jack Kelly was the perfect patsy, and soon his life would become a disposable asset in a gang war with no rules. That was until he is handed a photo of a teenage girl being held hostage that could be a sister he has never met. Against all odds, he knew he needed to tackle this problem head-on. Out of the depths of his despair, he would challenge himself to rise above the spineless acts of others and embark on a journey to seek his retribution.

In Kelly's life, there is no grey. Take your best shot-but you better not miss. Bloodlines are forever, and payback is a promise written in another man's blood If you enjoy backing the underdog, the first book in The Man Called Kelly Series won't disappoint. You can get stuck into it right now.

Autorenporträt
Phillip Nelson was born and raised in the Snowy Mountains on the east coast of Australia. At 16, with just his Kawasaki Z-900 he left home for the final time with a head full of bad ideas and an attitude to match. The harsh realities of gang life living on the streets of Sydney and Melbourne was a steep learning curve that ended the day some crazed bikie poked a shotgun under his chin and pulled the trigger. Saved by a dud cartridge, he needed a Plan B.

He spent time working in the hospitality industry, then as a part-time deckhand on a rock lobster boat before becoming a backup drummer in a band until he settled into delivering on-site Workplace Assessment and Training courses throughout Western Australia.

People who live in the Land Down Under are great travellers through necessity, and after continually tweaking with a 15-year-old idea for his first novel; Phillip Nelson jumped on a plane and headed to Europe. He now lives in a small, culturally diverse Thailand village with two very spoilt Soi dogs and a pond full of disappearing walking fish. If he hasn't got a rod in his hand, then he is normally writing, and with three books completed in 'The Man Called Kelly Series,' The School of Hard Knocks was his debut novel released in 2019.
