Book Description
“Seeking The Way from the Wayward”
“Who Killed Walt Bone” is an entertaining 1970’s coming of age story of John Graden’s teenage years in a karate school that was more “Breaking Bad” than “The Karate Kid.”
In the mid-1970s, the kung fu craze was at its peak led by Bruce Lee and Kwai Chang Caine from the Kung Fu series.
Like millions of other teens, the combination of thought provoking wisdom and nut-busting techniques portrayed in these shows inspired John Graden to join the local karate school.
He idolized his deadly black belt instructors only to discover that they were involved in drugs, perverted sex, and even murder.
The story is woven through Graden’s often violent and intimidating home life to his complete embracing of the martial arts lifestyle. The promise of that lifestyle was yanked away on the night that he found out that his heroes were criminals.
Great stories include:
What happened when Joe Lewis accused Bruce Lee of trying to seduce his wife.
What major martial arts figure was a secret CIA contractor?
Who killed karate star Walt Bone.
Many more entertaining stories...
"Simply a riveting read from the start and all the way through. Not just a book for Martial Artists but anyone interested in a good story."
