Produktbeschreibung

The 1999 Good Friday Agreement the British and American governments have put together does not meet the approval of one IRA dissident cell.

They feel they have been sold out and their current lifestyle, derived from running drug dealing and protection rackets will be badly effected. Their leader Michael Caldwell decides to compensate fpr their loss of income by planning an assault on the Scotch Whisky industry unless they meet his demands for a £20m ransom. He plans on carrying out his threat by using a sympathiser to his cause who places semtex explosives in whisky barrels which aer then stored in warehouses in different parts of Scotland

Operation Large Scotch covers the period 1982-2000 which was at the height of the troubles and how a botched British commando ambush resulted in seven deathes and acting as as a catalyst for Mhairi McClure, whose fiance' was killed in the raid to join the IRA.

Both Police Scotland and MI5 are alerted by the terrorists to their demands but unable to locate where the threat will come from until John Johnston, who has fled to South Africa after witnessing the ambush years previously nforms Mossad the Israeli secret service. MI5 must now intervene and stop the possibility of many innocent civilians being killed -but will they be in time?

Autorenporträt

Hello,

I'm Bill Flockhart and Operation Large Scotch is the first book in the Operation Large Scotch Series which I first published in 2017. I only took up writing when I retired from financial services where I was a business development manager. I wrote my first book secretly and delivered copies to my family for their Xmas. I got tremendous pleasure in being able to produce a novel at the age of seventy-one but it has acted as a catalyst for me to go ahead and publish three more books. My second novel She's Not a Lovely Girl is a sequel to the first book and it is followed by Joppa Rocks and Vengeance In Valescure with a fifth book coming out later this year.

I have enjoyed finding the writing bug which has come at an important time in my life when my golf, which I have been addicted to most of my life is deteriorating rapidly.

Good thrillers have always had a fascination for me and I would list my favourite authors as John Buchan, Frederick Forsythe, Alistair McLean, Wilbur Smith and John Le Carre,

I live on the east end of Edinburgh only a few hundred yards from the sea which inspired the title of my third book Joppa Rocks which was nominated at the 2021 Bloody Scotland Book Festival for the Pitch Perfect event.

I have been married to Joyce for forty-seven years and we have two sons Campbell and Grant who in earlier years represented Scotland at basketball. Sport plays a big part in the Flockhart household but in my case mostly as a spectator being seen at Heart of Midlothian football matches where I am a season ticket holder,
