Owen Clancy's Run Of Luck

Burt L. Standish

Owen Clancy's Run Of Luck

Owen Clancy's Run Of Luck

Burt L. Standish

Owen Clancy is a working-class kid with quick fists and quicker instincts, getting by on his wits in a world that doesn't hand out breaks to boys like him. When he pulls a young fellow from harm's way, he gains something he never expected: a friend who depends on him, and maybe even a reason to be something more than a street tough drifting toward trouble. But the streets have darker dangers than fistfights. A sinister plot is Brewing in the city shadows, and these two unlikely allies are the only ones who see it clearly enough to act. Standish delivers the rip-roaring adventure of the dime-paper tradition, where loyalty between boys becomes the weapon that breaks corrupt schemes wide open. It's a period piece, yes, but one that crackles with the universal hunger of young people who want to matter and refuse to let the powerful trample the powerless. Perfect for readers who want their adventure straight up, no pretense.
