SUMMARY:: Waterstones\, L1: Sick Mick
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nSICK MICK BY BRIAN READE – BOOK LAUNCH\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\
 n\n\n\nSick Mick is the debut novel by Daily Mirror journalist and writer
 \, Brian Reade. Described as “Savagely funny” by The New European\
 , Sick Mick is a darkly humorous tale of one man’s unwitting journey thr
 ough the battlefield of culture wars.\n\nIn the aftermath of a tragic acci
 dent at the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show\, Britain finds itself plunged
  into chaos. When a beloved member of the Royal family falls into a coma a
 fter a stray pergola beam strikes\, the nation mourns. But amidst the angu
 ish\, stand-up comedian Mick O’Shea seizes the moment to joke about the 
 North Korean-style grieving enforced on Britons whenever a Royal falls ill
 . Little does Mick know that his comedic jabs ignite a wildfire of politic
 al outrage and public fury. Branded as Public Enemy Number One\, Mick\, tr
 apped in the eye of a storm of controversy\, becomes the target of a relen
 tless manhunt.\n\nAdd a book to your ticket order to have your copy waitin
