Mickey Take: When a debt goes bad...

by Steven Hayward

Overview

When a debt goes bad... someone's looking to make a killing. 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. It's pay-back for a cover-up years ago. But something's not right; it all seems too easy. And 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? 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. 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...

About the Author

After a happy family upbringing on the Hamworthy peninsula of the beautiful Poole Harbour in the county of Dorset, Steven progressed from the local grammar school to an international bank, then based in Poole, with the promise of travel and high finance. Alas, it was to be another fourteen years before he would make his first overseas business trip... to Jersey in the Channel Islands! But in the years that followed, working for several City institutions, he travelled far and wide managing relationships with large institutional clients, before settling into the compliance role of Money Laundering Reporting Officer.

In recent years he has divided his time between his love of writing, volunteering and fundraising for New Ways (www.newways.org.uk), and consulting on financial crime. He lives in Kent with his wife and their beagle Ella.
