This book is about tales of derring-do and many of the characters who helped restore the credibility and standing of Liverpool during the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, the city of Liverpool had fallen badly. Once, the proud second city of the Empire, with over 40% of global trade passing through its ports, the city had fallen into a state if near terminal decline. Who would come to its rescue? In this, his debut novel, Chris Wainwright recalls an array of characters who helped stop that decline, and with humour, honesty and integrity created great businesses and great memories, inspiring great loyalty along the way.
