Pocket Notebook: A Novel by Mike Thomas

#BookTrailer Pocket Notebook is the debut novel from serving police officer Mike Thomas. An angry black comedy, it follows PC Jacob Smith, tactical firearms officer, steroid abuser and gun obsessive, and his very public breakdown and subsequent fall from grace, all of which he meticulously records in his police notebook.

Pocket Notebook is most certainly not run of the millAmusing, in a very black wayentertainingTheres no doubt Mike Thomas can write very well indeedhes come up with a cracker of a readNeedless to say, Smith is heading for an especially bloody end. Its who hell take down with him that provides the suspense, and the horror. Henry Sutton, Mirror

This arresting tale doesnt miss a beatPocket Notebook might become cult reading in police circles, [but] it certainly isnt about to become a recruit training manual. This is an enjoyable black comedy that builds to an exciting climax. Tim Relf, Independent
