He fled 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 local assistance comes to aid Tom’s search for Tricia, but a gunshot casualty mars their rescue attempt. The captured shooter is interrogated by Tom’s mind probe to reveal where his wife is being held. Can he recover the love of his life and the missing cash?

Author Bio:

Wallace was born on the outskirts of Durham City eighty-two years ago. Married at twenty-one to his childhood sweetheart, Pat, whom he first met at the age of eleven, they are celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary in 2024.
They never lived more than five miles from the Cathedral City until they were almost forty years old with two children, boys. Then, employment took their small family to the south coast,: E. Sussex for a decade, then another ten years in lovely Hampshire.
Employment brought them back North, and now retired, they live on the edge of a small rural town in beautiful East Lancashire, NW England.
An author of children’s (MG/YA) books with several works published on Amazon, retirement gave Wallace the time to concentrate on writing.
The sixth Jimmy Crikey fantasy story was published in January 2024. Then he wrote a memoir recounting events that moulded his life up to the age of seventeen: the year he met Pat for the second time and the year his father died.
His account highlights his turnaround from a humble childhood in poverty to a successful career in technical sales and many adventures in international markets. He then entered a competition to write a story in under one hundred words. It did not fly but Wallace developed it into a psychological crime thriller, ’On the Edge (of a Stroke)’, recently released on Amazon for the adult fiction market.
Wallace’s first book was not published until 2016 and he now has eleven titles in print and is currently working to bring his seventh in series of The Adventures of Jimmy Crikey to the children’s MG market by mid 2025.
