It is 1976 and Mikey, eight-years-old and street-wise beyond his
years, is looking forward to a summer of freedom, roaming the
creeks and the mud-flats of Canvey Island. But violent emotions are
rumbling beneath the surface, about to destroy all that he thought
he knew. When Mikey's neighbours, the Freemans, win a great deal of
money, the old couple become the targets of a criminal act that
leaves Peggy Freeman dead and her husband, Bert thirsting for
revenge. Believing that young Mikey's family is responsible, Bert
devises a highly unusual but devastatingly effective form of
reprisal. But where does the guilt really lie, and will there be
punishment or redemption? Told from Mikey's viewpoint with light
touches of humour, A Patient Man is a gripping crime novel peopled
with believable characters who are drawn inexorably in to a story
that explores the effects of greed, money and the human need for
retribution.
