Autor: George Cassar

George Cassar spent most of his life growing up in Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia, after his family migrated from Malta in 1952. Although his interest for writing came late in life, his first project was to write a memoir relating to the lives and times of his family (not for publication) before moving on to writing novels. One of nine siblings born into the Cassar family and having witnessed the difficulties of growing up surrounded by poverty, his attempt in mixing a blend of reality and adding his own touch of fiction, “A Hero Walks Alone” is a book that can relate to each and every one of us. Discovering that he could escape into the fantasy of his own writings and leave behind the many tragic events associated in today’s world, George writes about what he truly feels, which is depicted in this novel. Having spent his early years as a graphic artist, his direction soon changed as he pondered if he had the mental capacity required to successfully put pen to paper and create a story that would satisfy the most ardent reader. What George offers up in this book has much to do with what he lived through in the late fifties and sixties, eras which were very much related with Mafia-related events. Combining powerful action, drama, and crime, thrilling twists and turns, and adding a touch of humour and spellbinding characters that will leave you wanting more, not only does his writings offer up a good read, this book reminds us of times that must never again be reinvented. This novel is set in New York, and the characters and dialogue are products of George’s imagination and do not portray actual persons or events. Any resemblance to the living or people who have passed is entirely coincidental.
