Summary
Rory Connor was a gambling man and he had a gambler's luck. From the day he was born, his mother had known that Rory would be the one to make something of his life. At seven years old he was earning money from odd jobs and by 14 he was in full-time work. By the time he was 19, he had escaped the factory to become a rent-collector.
Now, at 23, ambition was in full flow and he was always looking to bigger and better games to play. He feared nothing and nobody, not even the unscrupulous landlord he collected for. For an ordinary working lad, he was doing well - until one day, his luck changed and suddenly, things did not go as smoothly as he was used to...

One of Catherine's Bests
I love most of Catherine Cooksons writing. She really understood the follicles and faults of human love and behaviour. This is one of her best books and in Rory Connor you have a man who gambles in more ways than betting, with both wins and losses. His best being his marriage made to Charlotte Keen which everyone scorned. For once it's also not just a happy ending with good always coming out on top just like life is very seldom that same outcome. If you only read one Catherine Cookson to try I'd suggest you make it this one.
