No Turning Back - Tapa blanda

Ian Rankin's Rebus and Quintin Jardine's Skinner were the grandfather and father of modern day known crime characters in Edinburgh. But the next best thing, the new generation, and the new kid on the block has to be Mark Danno, the long lost grandson who they have never met until now. It all started when he was made a broken man, financially and emotionally and had nowhere to turn to. There he dreamt to be a bestseller writer, as he said to his Matsoi, the understanding red diary he opened his heart to. But life is always unpredictable as the legacy starts to unfold. Instead of fulfilling his dream, misfortune struck even deeper this time when he messed with the Chinese triad while sympathising a girl who was gang raped by them. While helping her he also got into trouble as they later escaped to Singapore. There he started a new chapter in life; a new leaf of love, but old vendetta awaits him and the unforgettable vengeance he yearns to take. No Turning Back is just the beginning, the launch pad of a long and winding road for Mark Danno in his quest for the mission impossible.

Ain't no Shakespeare, just a lousy writer! That's just what GH Mercy described himself when he was writing his 7th novel based on that title. A phenomenon in his school days when he reached over twenty qualifications in his teens, and when he was described by the local newspaper as a compulsive student later in an interview, the whole world was at his feet. But he got bored and gave up education altogether after achieving more than forty certificates and diplomas, and with years of truancy he has now rediscovered the magic he thought he had lost by writing novels, one that he thought was impossible until it became possible. After just a year he had completed seven novels, ready and waiting, just like the burning lava of a volcano ready to erupt. The desire of writing filled his mind day and night, likened to the blood that fills all parts of the body. A natural storyteller? Maybe, especially he's been singing "I'm a storyteller and my stories must be told" from his primary school days many ancient years ago till today and will continue to do. His ambition is to write a hundred novels before he dies, to double the achievement he set on education, and to prove he is a storyteller once and for all!
