A Slightly Tainted Hero

Graham Clews

4.9/5 (10090 ratings)

Description:Dave Lockwood is an accountant. He’s also just turned sixty and he’s feeling old—both in body and mind. And then there’s Irene Blanchard, his office manager. She’s about twenty years younger than Dave, which is about the age his mind seems to think he is, as it valiantly labours to adjust to a ‘maturing’ body. Which is why, one evening as he escorts Irene down to the parking lot below one of Edmonton’s down-town sky scrapers he unwisely confronts a mugger, whom he quickly discovers is armed.Blind panic follows as shots ring out, and Dave becomes an overnight hero; in fact, he’s shocked to find that he’s a successful, wounded, nationally known hero. But instant fame has its drawbacks as Dave’s past sins slowly emerge from behind a long closed closet door. Louise, his wife of thirty six years, is not pleased. Neither, it seems, is anyone else as the fallout spreads: his partners at work, the police, the mugger’s family, and even Dave himself. A tainted hero takes an often humorous, sometimes thoughtful look at the bittersweet irony when the good things in life turn out, as they often do, to be ‘Slightly Tainted’. Or, as Dave likes to put it: “Every silver lining has a cloud!” After nearly forty years in public practice author Graham Clews, a retired chartered accountant, has fun with the lighter side of the general public’s typical opinion of an accountant: a rather sober minded, not so ‘macho’ male, who would rather put in the midnight oil and golf on Sunday, than engage in anything that might bring harm to body and soul. Graham clearly states that the book has absolutely no trace of autobiography within the covers, though his wife Marie speculates there may be a hint of Walter Mitty in the first chapter.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
