Have you seen this man?
He lurks in back alleys, looking for crimes.
He skulks on the internet, dispensing words and wisdom, sometimes both.
He writes crime fiction, but also Science Fiction, (about the future), in the past.
He writes songs and makes videos. (Where can I get to see the videos?)
Above all, he writes books.
Regularly.

Print: $10.96 Mickey and the team are called in to another adventure, but this time it's weird. There's a ship that's been wrecked in the Bristol Channel, but it's two thousand years old and the jars it was carrying hold secrets, vital secrets that could threaten the future of the Christian Church.
Is that why people are willing to spy, shoot and kidnap in order to suppress the words that are listed in the containers?
In a desperate race to decode the scrolls and save them from attackers, Mickey organises a pursuit around England, trying to stay one step ahead of the terrorists and two steps ahead of other interested parties - a selfish billionaire, an outraged Archbishop, one or two mad monks and the Heir to the English Crown.
Who needs that sort of attention?
