Scotch for Breakfast

About the Book

There is both humor and high drama, as well as tragedy, as Conor's career moves him through the worlds of strikebreakers and power-brokers, paparazzi and celebrities. Among the book's large cast of fascinating characters are President Harry Truman, Sen. Joseph McCarthy, Princess Grace Kelly, Dutch Queen Juliana, and film stars Gino Lollabrigida, Jason Robards, Jane Russell and Anthony Quinn. You'll meet them all when you join Conor Hayes in this rollicking good ride from an upcoast British Columbia logging camp through Toronto, New York, Bermuda, London, Dublin, Paris, Rome, Majorca, The Hague, Monte Carlo and Hollywood!
