Into the Wolf's Mouth

by Wayne Slater

Overview

'The safest place for a wolf pup is inside its mother's mouth.'

 

Gee Valentine's life is the pits. 

 

Abandoned at birth and raised in a care home, he's learnt how to survive the hard way. When he secretly escapes the care system, fate intervenes, and he's befriended by the mysterious owner of a Blackpool magic shop who teaches him the art of sleight of hand magic. Fast-forward a few months and the pair begin to trust each other. For the first time in his 15 years, Gee actually feels part of a family, and he meets the girl of his dreams.

 

But once again his happiness is snatched away.

 

After a few violent scrapes with the local Pleasure Beach meatheads, Gee starts getting into trouble. And when he is entangled in the murder of five stage magicians, he flees Blackpool in the dead of night. He embarks on a journey of self-discovery to Italy in his 1967 VW Campervan. In an emotional search for his parents, he encounters friendship, betrayal, love and death.

 

Is everyone out to destroy him?

 

Is he a pawn in a revengeful game of Whodunnit?

 

Is he destined to always be a lone wolf?

 

In bocca al lupo... into the Wolf's mouth.

About the Author

Born in Salford in 1958, I have spent most of my working life performing on the stage with my comedy magic act, El Loco. Over a 30-year period, I was fortunate to perform more than 4,000 shows worldwide in various venues that included theatres, cruise ships, hotels, holiday parks and social clubs. Unfortunately, one fateful night aboard a cruise ship off Dubai, I suffered a life-changing heart attack before a performance, bringing down the curtain on my career.

At a loose end, and having an encyclopedic knowledge of stage performance and magic, it was suggested I should write a book to fulfil my creative need.

This is my first novel, Into the Wolf’s Mouth.

Based in Nottinghamshire with my wife Kate, we have two wonderful sons, Charlie and George, who with their partners, Corazon and Becca, have three little miracles - Reuben, Charlotte and Ezra.
