Produktbeschreibung

Mickey is a bit too old to appreciate modern pop music, but he gets dragged into this strange new world because of a link to a former colleague in the Security Services. His pal Eddie is now the Manager of a dynamic combo which is rapidly becoming the hot new name in the North West of England and he is taking them on a tour of Europe. He mentions to Mickey that there might be an opportunity for him at a nightclub in the middle of Manchester. Mickey can't see himself as a bouncer, but when he loses his current job, he decides to give it a try. Strangely, the repsonsibilities fit in well with his skill set and he finds himself more or less at home in the music scene. His cheery new life comes smashing to a halt, however, when his pal Eddie comes back into his life, beaten and battered. Now it's personal, and Mickey brings out his other talents, employing his dogged reliability and his latent aggression. He isn't about to take any prisoners, and he isn't going ot let any jumped-up thugs take advantage of him or the people he values. There is a terrific climax as a battle breaks out. Who will be the last man standing? It's a foregone conclusion.

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?
