Mickey is forced to help an old friend, a pal from his Army days. But the young man is in a wheelchair. Getting Billy Budman to where he wants to go is one thing, but losing him to kidnappers is something worse.

Produktbeschreibung
Mickey is forced to help an old friend, a pal from his Army days. But the young man is in a wheelchair. Getting Billy Budman to where he wants to go is one thing, but losing him to kidnappers is something worse. Mickey is asked by his old boss, Captain Gibson, to work with a police Inspector, a certain Mr de Angelis, on finding the missing people. That is a clash of personalities. Luckily, Terry the computer tech, a more reliable friend from Mickey's days at the Unit, is a more reliable source of information and support. Strangely, the worse thing that threatens Mickey is that the same property developers that Billy Bud was opposing, have an interest in his house (and that of Melia, even though her flat is in the centre of the city, (Manchester). The only other thing to keep Mickey busy is that the political rabble rouser, Jerry Garage, (from Mickey's last case), turns out to be rather less dead than Mickey believes. Gibson's team has tracked him down to a local hospital. Mickey has to go and find out how damaged the egregious politician really is. Mickey is frightened to see the damaged man wants to return to politics. That's bad news for Britain. Of course, the kidnapping and property development schemes alike are all about money. It's a surprise then, to see who is getting, and will get, the loot.

Autorenporträt
Mickey is from Manchester, and he's a Tough Guy. My name is Mike Scantlebury and I'm the author. I'm not a tough guy, I'm more like an opal, small and perfectly formed. But - more bad news, and worse than that - I'm from Bristol, which is a small, historic port in South West England. It's only claim to fame is that people sailed from there in the 15th century and discovered America. Oh, yeah, well, that is quite a Big Thing, isn't it? But that's the deceptive part of the whole story. I live in Salford now, across the river from the big Northern city of Manchester. My 'Manchester' is not like anyone else's, and if you think you know Manchester - maybe from reading other books set there, or seeing the place on films or on television - I need you to know that. Things aren't always what they seem, are they? Luckily, Manchester has Mickey, which means, fortunately for them, that whenever something bad happens, (and it does, regularly), they've got someone who is going to come in, do The Right Thing, and clear up the mess. Not every town can say that now, can they?
