MICKEY TAKE
When a debt goes bad...
Murder. Corruption. Revenge.
Losing his City job and beautiful wife is starting to feel like the least of Mickey Field's problems. A proposition from his one-time friend, and small-time London gangster Herbert Long, threatens to draw him back into the murky world he’s been desperate to forget. The deal is non-negotiable. It’s pay-back for that little cover-up years ago, from which young Mickey emerged unscathed to climb the corporate ladder. This time, there'll be no easy way out...
He may be an unlikely hero, conflicted and outwitted at every turn, but if you like your heroines strong and manipulative, you're going to love the girl who comes crashing into his life. She knows just how to play him. And if you enjoy being teased by the dark threat of an evil force lurking in the shadows, this “gripping, edge of your seat, psychological thriller” that readers are saying is “expertly written” and “full of twists and turns”, will have you swiping the page to discover the identity of the cold-blooded killer.
What's it all about, Mickey?
When a debt goes bad...
Michael Field just lost his City job and his beautiful wife in one fell swoop.
Unemployed and down on his luck, he's propositioned by one-time friend, Herbert Long. The job is non-negotiable - pay-back for a cover-up years ago.
But something’s not right; it all seems too easy.
It’s not just the job that doesn't add up.
Part of him is flattered by the improbable advances of the beautiful young woman who calls herself Grace de Manton, but his inner realist is suspicious. What is her game?
And could she be connected with Herb somehow?
He can’t shake the feeling he’s being watched.
Then there's the threatening voice of a stranger down the phone... and that man lurking in the shadows.
In this complex criminal web, Mickey doesn’t know who to protect and who to fear.
...someone's looking to make a killing.
But with even those closest to him seemingly involved, who can he trust? A hapless pawn in a bigger game that's playing out between local crime lords, all he knows is whatever happens...
... he’s not going back into that bloody chamber.
Judging a book by its cover
Steven enjoys being creative with images as well as words, but they say it's a big risk designing your own book cover. Here's how Mickey Take came together. As to whether he got it right, in the words of Mickey Field, "You'll be the judge of that!"
