The Lookout

A thrilling short story from the collection, BEYOND THE STARS, written by an award-winning, bestselling author

Ireland, 1955: Charley's used to being lookout for Mammy - or 'Sal Capone', as she's known in the local papers. He doesn't want to be part of a criminal gang, but he'd rather that than have his mammy dragged off to prison; she's only trying to keep him safe from Dad. But on the day of Charley's fourteenth birthday and a hold-up at gunpoint of the village post office - Charley's role changes. The stakes have been raised and Charley realises that the outcome of this crime could change their lives for ever.

An exciting, drama-filled tale brought to life by Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick's atmospheric artwork.
