In an eventful life he has amassed great wealth from his arms dealing, mineral prospecting and shrewd investments. Unknown to him he has been a puppet manipulated by evil violent people, some of whom want him alive for his skills, others who want him dead. He has been protected by a friendship forged on the battlefields of Europe in the closing days of World War II. On at least three occasions he has been saved from death not just by good luck, but by the love and care of the parents he believed had abandoned him. Now he must make a choice. A choice that can unravel a twisted tale. He is faced with the dilemma of continuing to survive on his wits trusting the very people he believes betrayed him. Has the time come to delve into the sand box of his life and risk uncovering its hidden truths? The Sand Box is the very human story of two families caught up in the bigotry, sectarianism and violence of Northern Ireland. In his debut novel Jimmy Fegan weaves a powerful story of friendship and enmity, love and hate, hope and despair. Jimmy Fegan lives near Trim, Co. Meath with his wife and grown up family. Having worked as a second level teacher for 19 years he was coaxed from the classroom to serve as a Special Adviser in a State Department in the Government of Irish Republic. He served in that capacity for a further 17 years. He is currently an elected member of Meath County Council. Nº de ref. del artículo: 008155
