The Security Man's Tale
From the East End of Sheffield to the business boardroom... One of the first kids born under the newly-formed NHS, Mick Lee grew up in pubs in Attercliffe and Darnall, in the vibrant East End of Sheffield. After delivering bread around the Parson Cross estate, he joined his parents behind the bar, dealing with the colourful locals, before joining the police force and becoming the landlord of several pubs with Christine, the love of his life. A lucky accident led to Mick starting up a security business. His life at the helm of Constant Security Services has provided many stories and much comedy and drama over the years, from Woolworths, to carpet factories and Aintree Racecourse. The company Mick established in the early eighties has gone from strength to strength, and its employees have gone on to do great things.

Undiscovered Dinosaur
From the late 1960s until the late 1980s, American expatriate Mick Lee was a working musician in the United Kingdom and other European ports. His gigs covered a wide spectrum, from playing for beer to opening for the Moody Blues at Wembley Stadium. During these years he forged close friendships with some of the legends of the London music scene, including Graham Bond (a founding father of the British blues and jazz scene), Chris Wood (member of the band Traffic), and Paul Kossoff (of Free.) These friendships plus Lee's own career development led to associations-and sometimes 'adventures'-with an assortment of musicians and other personalities within the music business. The result is a personal memoir recollecting a life in music, a life that includes experiences with musicians of all sorts and conditions-from celebrated rock & roll royalty to anonymous street-corner buskers.

The Men Who Robbed The Great Train Robbers
A fictional retelling of the story behind the great train robbery, providing a sinister portrayal of the loyalties and fear operating within criminal and police circles in the sixties. If you thought the great train robbers were unlucky to get caught, you don’t know half the story... In the early hours of the 8th August 1963, several men hold up a GPO mail train in rural Buckinghamshire. Two and a half million pounds (equivalent to over £45 million today) is snatched from under the noses of the GPO, the police and the establishment. This creates a gang of heroes who the public fall in love with; some of whom, like Ronnie Biggs, become a part of British folklore. But behind the bravado lay...

Scream If You Want to Go Faster
From the island of Barbados a serial killer recalls his catalogue of infamy - the trail of dead excused as a necessary evil of survival. When he is drawn into the local petty underworld he is convinced he has to kill again. A child is pulled from the burning wreckage of a caravan home at a funfair. The two incinerated bodies represent an escape from a life of persecution - but the demons remain. 'Scream If You Want To Go Faster' is a stunning exploration of the mentality of a serial killer - there may be more to them than you think.
Tenerife Noir
Danny Mclinden is a disabled ex-cop, penniless and stranded in a holiday destination in the Atlantic ocean. Dumped by his wife, Danny is in despair until a mysterious visitor calls at his apartment and changes his life forever.
The Higher Education of a Cottonmouth
The Higher Education of a Cottonmouth is the tale of Mick Lee and his grandfather John Pierce, a man both renowned and reviled for his many acts. The events take place over the course of two days, when Mick, preparing for a final confrontation with the Devil himself, writes his most important memories of his grandfather and how he came to inherit his conflict with "Ole Scratch." John Pierce was a man who could be mean as a snake, but always appeared larger than life. Even though he was an "outsider," committing rather creative heists and landing himself in prison (what he called "state college," hence the story's title), his deeds of rebellion earned him fame and the love of his grandson. Through his journal entry, Mick tells the story of how his rebellious grandfather shaped his character and made him the man he is. After Mick completes writing in his journal, he must go out and fight the devil-or so he believes. Is the devil real or is Ole Scratch nothing more than his own restless mind?
