It has been said that every man's life contains sufficient material for a book. Some stories are more compelling than others and few can match the outrageous tales provided by the central character in Nobody's Boy, the notorious Ralph Harris.For some, the lead character's moral code may be hard to swallow, but that doesn't alter the fact that his life produced sufficient material to justify being recorded within these pages.This is a story about a man who defied the law, not so much for greed as was the case for many of his money-hungry associates, but for the steady infusion of adrenaline that raced through his veins.Rather than align himself with an established criminal organization, he chose to navigate his own courseNo one thought to abuse Ralph's loyalty or threaten those he held dear. To do so would be at their own peril. He was a man respected by his peers and in some cases, feared. For those who were slow to accept his ways, they would eventually realize, nothing would stand between him and his intended goal.With a treasure trove of material gleaned from court documents and, most vital to the story, personal interviews with Harris shortly before his death, family members and scores of police officers, bikers, drug runners and others who shared Ralph's flamboyant life. Daryl Ashby has penned a book that exposes an underworld hereto undiscovered on Vancouver Island.
