Becky - E. V Thompson

Fergus Vine has left the Navy to seek out his mentor, Henry Gordon. But Gordon lies dead, a victim of the scourge of the poor: alcoholism. Grieving for the loss of his friend, Fergus decides to fulfil Gordon's mission to record the lives of the poor on canvas. A mission that will lead him to Becky, the wayward orphan destined to change his life forever.

E V Thompson was born in London and spent nine years in the Navy before joining Bristol police. He moved to Hong Kong, then Rhodesia and had over 200 stories published before returning to England to become a full-time award-winning writer. He passed away in 2012.
