Tom Bradley, recovering from a stroke, discovers a new, inner self who can also hear the thoughts of others in close proximity. In the park where he exercises daily, he overhears a robbery plot and reports it to the police.
The plotters are arrested and the drug gang’s profits, over two hundred thousand pounds, are impounded. The gang’s boss, K, threatens to snatch Tom’s wife, if Tom does not return the cash and Tricia is kidnapped as insurance. The villain escapes with the cash when the police botch an arrest attempt without identifying Tricia’s location. He flees to France but is arrested at the Channel Tunnel and returned into police custody, without the cash.
Tom is allowed to interrogate K and uncovers the whereabouts of the missing cash. He uses a mind probe to reveal Tricia’s location, except, Tricia has already been moved to another site.
Unexpected help comes to aid Tom’s search, but a gunshot casualty mars the rescue attempt. The captured shooter is interrogated by Tom’s mind probe to reveal where Tricia is being held. Can he recover the love of his life and the missing cash?

BIOGRAPHY Wallace Briggs (1943 – present). Happily married to Pat in 1964, who I first met at the age of eleven.
Early years were experienced in and around Durham never living more than 5ml distance from the Cathedral City. Married in 1964, Pat and I spent many happy years in the North East of England before employment almost took us off to emigrate to South Africa. But plans were changed in the final weeks and the company moved the family Sussex.
After more than twenty years in Sussex, then Hampshire, employment was again responsible for the move to beautiful rural Lancashire, where we still reside. I am now retired from a long career in sales and marketing of technical products in the UK and international markets.
Jimmy Crikey was born one rainy day during a family holiday in Great Yarmouth, to entertain my son and his newfound friends for an hour or so. The story expanded over the following showery afternoons in the cramped confines of a beach tent, and more and more adventures were required to keep the children entertained. The series of The Adventures of Jimmy CRikey has now reached six adventures.
I look forward to sharing the adventures of Jimmy Crikey with a wider audience in the hope that they will bring a sense of wonder and enjoyment to another generation.
