    About this ebook

    Book One of the Linderton Series sets the background for the subsequent adventures of Kenny and his family, along with Sir John and the rest of the characters that live on and around the fine Irish estate. The focus of this first story is on fishing. The river that runs through the Linderton Estate offers excellent game fishing, in season, and the party from England learns a thing or two about how to properly fish and about each other. Sir John Smith, wealthy industrialist from England, must deal with the petty and self-promoting Gordon Merns, a building contractor (also from England) who thinks he can buy his way into a lucrative contract.

    Books Two through Five chronicle what becomes of our characters and will be available soon. More are in the works. There is betrayal, marriage, murderous attempts, celebration, and of course golf and fishing.

    Wallace Russell

    Wallace Russell was born in the pre-war years of the late 1920's. He grew up in the Birmingham/Midlands area of England and qualified as a Quantity Surveyor. He married his schoolyard sweetheart in 1951, and they went on to have three children. He moved the family to Bude in Cornwall, England, where they bought a hotel and ran it while he continued to work in his professional capacity. Wallace is a keen golfer and angler, and enjoys his retirement in southwest Scotland.

      Chapter One

      The Fishing Party

      Gordon Merns drove his hired Range Rover into the yard of the Fox and Hounds Inn at rather too fast a speed, screeching to a halt on the cobbled yard. Merns never treated other people’s property (or other people, if it came to that) with any consideration unless it was in his own interests to do so. He climbed down from the driver’s seat, took a packet of cheroots from his pocket, selected one, and lit it with a gold lighter.

      He was a heavily built man with a florid complexion and his nose showed tiny red veins due to too much use of the bottle. He was wearing corduroy trousers and a brown Harris Tweed Jacket with leather elbow patches over a check shirt. He wore a Deer Stalker hat and was obviously trying to project the image of a Country Gentleman of means.

      Merns was the majority shareholder and Managing Director of a mid-sized building and civil engineering contracting company that had been built up by various dubious practices. He was typical of the modern generation of self-made men trying to be gentlemen, and in his case, he was never going to succeed. He took a long drag at his cheroot.

      Waiting for him in the yard was a burly Irishman who had been hired to act as gillie for the week's salmon fishing that Merns had arranged. Typical of his Irish descent his face, hands, and wrists were weathered to a nut-brown colour. He had the local reputation of being
