Sick Mick

by Brian Reade - £9.99  Writing on the Wall (2024)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781916571105 | ISBN 10: 1916571107

Sick Mick is the laugh-out-loud funny, debut satirical novel from acclaimed journalist Brian Reade.
 
A much-loved member of the Royal Family sinks into a coma after being struck on the head by a stray pergola beam at the Chelsea Flower Show.
 
Two hundred miles away in Liverpool, as Britain reels and the national media goes into morbid overdrive, comedian Mick O’Shea cracks a series of gags at the Royal’s expense. In the face of hyped-up public outrage, Mick finds himself on the end of a media lynching and a police manhunt as he becomes Public Enemy Number One.
 
Sick Mick is a darkly humorous tale about a man caught in the culture wars crossfire. Mick’s quest for redemption takes him on a rollercoaster of absurdity involving a high-speed dash in a Beatles Magical Mystery Tour taxi, a Dog Day Afternoon tribute act and drama in a Harley Street erectile dysfunction clinic.
