    About this ebook

    Caught in a traffic jam or delayed at an airport and never found out the cause?
    Then you might have been a victim of the ‘Ministry of Disruption’.
    Gurney Leafmould has been banned from undertaking anymore DIY and tries his hand at journalism instead.
    As an investigative journalist, he stumbles on to a state secret and soon finds that a vast secretive organisation manipulates a significant part of our daily lives.
    But dare he expose his findings to get a scoop? Gurney’s quest starts off well before eventually his cloud of chaos soon overtakes him.
    This is the second humorous Gurney Leafmould adventure.

    Author

    Paul Gait

    The author is a prolific writer, a student of Bristol University. Paul has written a raft of novels and 'Eddy - The Lost Years' is Paul's tenth novel. Previous novels include four books in the 'Godsons' series about a millionaire tracking down his Godsons and challenging them to improve their idle lives in order to inherit their legacy when he dies. A tense love triangle story about a cuckolded IED expert defusing a WW2 unexploded bomb to release his trapped love rival. Two humorous novels about a hapless individual, Gurney Leafmould and his crazy adventures, firstly as a failed DIY practitioner and then unwittingly exposing a government secret organisation, the Ministry of Disruption. 'Vigilante Nurse' relays the tale of A and E nurses dishing out punishment to miscreants who hide behind the efforts of an inept police force and who shelter one of their own domestic abusers. In addition to writing novels, Paul has written stage and radio plays which have been performed and recorded by a local drama group and broadcast on the Internet. The myriad topics have included 'Forget Me Not,' the intense thoughts of a dying dementia patient, 'Together Forever,' the tragedy of two brothers trapped in a flooded coal pit and 'Mountain Heir' a mountaineer overcoming his self-doubts being overwhelmed by the shadow of his successful father's reputation.
