The motto of the boarding school to which Tommy Bedford is dispatched is Fortune Favours the Brave. It's 1959 and the school bristles with bullies and sadistic staff. Tommy, a quirky loner, obsessed with cowboys and Indians, needs all the bravery he can summon. Salvation comes when his glamorous actress sister is swept off to Hollywood by one of his heroes, TV cowboy Ray Montane. But with the Cold War looming, the sinister side of Tinseltown seeps through and Tommy and Diane soon find themselves in jeopardy. Forty years on, Tommy has to confront his boyhood ghosts when his own son finds himself charged with murder. * Nicholas Evans studied law at Oxford University after a year in Africa, teaching English with Voluntary Service Overseas. He then worked as a journalist, film producer and screenwriter, before writing four bestselling novels. His first, The Horse Whisperer, was made into a movie directed by Robert Redford. He lives in the southwest of England with his wife, singer-songwriter Charlotte Gordon Cumming. Her album of songs inspired by The Brave can be heard at www.thebravesongs.com.
