Scottish Author Publishes Action-Packed Spy Novel

November 15, 2014 - "ACHALADAIR," a new book by William S. Young, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

All is not always as it is seems, even at the picturesque Bridge of Orchy Hotel in the Scottish Highlands, where lads can be found gathering at the local pub and where the unexpected rarely happens.

"It was a cold, dark, dreary night, and the mist was hanging over the Bridge of Orchy Hotel…" And so begins this exciting, Cold War-era tale that opens with three local gents and a stranger in a bar and quickly escalates into a fast-paced thriller, complete with Russian spies, the IRA, and British M16 agents.

Do British Agents Tom Sommerville and Frank Mulholland, along with a lively group of local lads, have what it takes to block the plans of Russian spies and thwart an assassination attempt on President John F. Kennedy? Action-packed and stimulating, anticipation builds in "ACHALADAIR" until the final pages of the book, taking the reader on an exhilarating, satisfying ride.
