The Middlebridge Millionaire

By Charles Davey

A number of important people think that Jimmy Basildon has discovered the secret of the soon to be unveiled Cosmos Shopping Centre - and they will do quite a lot to stop him telling anyone else. Unfortunately, Jimmy doesn't know what he's stumbled upon, so he has no idea of the adversaries ranged against him. Along with Jimmy, there is Heather, his siren, with a business-like professionalism only just quenching her flaming temper; Termite Thompson, psychotic henchman and inventor of "urban camouflage" (which looks like something that's been fly-tipped); Elliot Ploom, who's been experimenting with the genetic make-up of cannabis; R.W. Dickie, disturbed C.E.O. of the Seelo Hesra Energy Company, who consults a computer program to help him with his paranoia issues; Olivia Kingsley, head of an ecological protest group who is trying to control a number of rebellious factions within her party and Spanner, who spends a lot of the time under a "code blue" because he can't work out why his girlfriend keeps dumping him. Can Jimmy and Heather work out the truth before they're silenced? Will Ilsa give Spanner one more try? Will Bailey's Wreck be saved from the developers? These and other questions are explored in the witty and energetic satire that is "The Middlebridge Millionaire". What some people have said*: "It cured my warts," Sarah Good, Salem, Massachusetts. "An excellent man; he has no enemies; and none of his friends like him." O. Wilde "He doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus," W. Shakespeare. *although not necessarily about this book or this author.
