Synopsis

Mickey's life has changed. It's Good News and Bad News. The Good News is that he can take a rest from international espionage and move into the relatively relaxing world of high finance and property based business. The Bad News is that he's still in a wheelchair, struggling to recover from a bullet, sent to kill him. They didn't succeed, but it's a long and painful road to recovery. (The other Bad News is that the assassins haven't given up, and are still making attempts on his life. Why shouldn't they? They succeeded in murdering Mickey's best friend friend Gulf, the last man to occupy the hot seat of CEO at Corsh Corporation - where Mickey is now, having inherited Gulf's enormous block of shares.)

The other News - maybe Good, maybe Bad - is that a German firm called Korrup's wants Corsh to sell them the site of the old Patricroft Armaments Factory, so that the foreigners can assemble weapons for Ukraine. The parts will come from all over Britain, but the guns will be put together in Salford. It will mean jobs and prosperity for local people. People want it to happen. The British government wants it to happen. What can possibly stand in the way?

In quick succession, Mickey meets more than one person who could derail such an enormous project. He needs help. What old friends - or new - can Mickey rely on, in such dangerous times?

About this title

About the Author

Mike Scantlebury is my author name, which I chose once I'd decided to use my real name on the outside of books. I was born in the South West of England, but after a lot of roaming, found a new billet in the North West, across the river from Manchester (England). I've written dozens of books and you can find them on the shelves of online bookstores everywhere. They're mostly in the world of Romance and the smaller world of Crime Fiction and Mysteries. Mostly, the novels are like the great Colossus and straddle both sides of the stream. The thing that makes me interesting is that I also sing and write songs and you can find them on social media and the corners of The Web. Which is pretty good. I'm a bit old for the internet, really.
