Imagine being a teenager, a Duke no less, juggling ghosts in an ancient Scottish castle, the pressure of competing at the British Open, and listening to live reports of a Cuban invasion crackling over the radio at night. Welcome to the world of Rick Jackson — where history twists, suspense builds, and every page feels like a new adventure.
A Castle Full of Secrets
Rick’s family trip to Scotland begins innocently enough: a rented castle with turrets, a moat, and the kind of draughty rooms you’d expect from a Royal family “getaway.” But Castle Firth isn’t just another stately home. Whispers of mad Royals, unexplained deaths, and eerie crypts make for more than a spooky backdrop. The Jackson family quickly realizes this is no ordinary stopover — and leaving may be harder than arriving.
The Open Championship
While ghost stories lurk in the shadows, Rick has a different battlefield: the fairways of Royal Troon. Playing against the best — including none other than Arnold Palmer — the young Duke must navigate brutal winds, infamous holes like “The Postage Stamp,” and his own nerves. For Rick, the golf course is both refuge and crucible, where precision and grit decide who claims glory.
History in the Making
But the saga isn’t just about personal triumphs. While Rick fights for the Claret Jug, the world is shifting. Live updates of a daring Cuban counter-revolution echo through the radio. Castro, tanks, and Soviet fighters are clashing as Rick lines up putts on Scotland’s greens. It’s this seamless blend of sports, politics, and suspense that makes The Richard Jackson Saga impossible to put down.
