The Rocky Road: a Memoir
Engaging, Insightful, Gripping, Raw, and True!
★★★★★
As the story goes, from the notion that smuggling drugs from India to the UK would be a good idea, to being jailed, and yet to more smuggling, a little fraud and some more prison. Set against the backdrop of the 1980s, the tale unfolds across India, Thailand, Australia and South America; it moves along at a pace, until finally, does Richard ultimately learn his lesson? You'll have to read The Rocky Road to find out. Enjoy!

A gripping memoir, well written with a great sense of anticipation. We spent a great deal of time together Dicky and I, in Changi and Queens Town prison, his description of the toileting scene is first class. A great read. Well done!

Dicky's story is both captivating and thought-provoking; a must-read for anyone interested in the life of a scallywag. I'm sure there's more to come as this story is only a brief glimpse in to his life. Congratulations on an epic book.
