The Psychic Edge

by Patrick Devaney

David is fourteen, a shy, insecure boy, who is bullied at school by Johnno and his side-kicks. He lives with his younger brother and sister and his widowed mother, whose boyfriend he detests. Then on a weekend visit to his uncle's cottage, David catches a great salmon in the Boyne. On eating it, he discovers that he has second sight and this power, together with the friendship of Billy, a Black American boy who has just come to Ireland, transforms him into the crime-fighting 'Salmon.'
