[Free eBook] Three Cheers for the Good Guys by Frank Dickens [Bicycling Sports Mystery/Thriller]

Three Cheers for the Good Guys by the late British author Frank Dickens, a cycling enthusiast and award-winning cartoonist of the popular Bristow series which holds the Guinness World Record for longest-running daily cartoon strip by a single artist, is a standalone sports-oriented mystery/crime thriller novel, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press.

This was originally published in 1984 by Macmillan London Ltd.

The story is set in Italy, starring a former Olympian bicycling sportsman who in the course of attending various international racing events winds up entangled in a complicated and dangerous affair involving the works of Leonardo da Vinci and a bizarre kidnapping plot.

Offered worldwide, available at Amazon.

Free for a limited time @ Amazon (should be available worldwide).

Description Dicks is a cycle-racing fanatic, a former rider whose career ended abruptly at the Rome Olympics. His obsession for the sport and openness to events lead him effortlessly into complicated circumstances involving the firing of some vases – the work of Leonardo da Vinci – and a bizarre kidnap plot.

This absorbing mystery proves Frank Dickens to be a natural writer with a mastery of dialogue. The Italian and Sardinian backgrounds are strikingly well realized, while Dicks himself is an original and immensely appealing hero, swept along by a tide of events more fast-moving and dangerous than any cycle race.

Frank Dickens began his career as a cartoonist in Paris, selling cartoons to French newspapers in order to make a living as a racing cyclist. Now, of course, cartooning is his full-time occupation: Bristow and Albert Herbert Hawkins are syndicated throughout the world. This is his second novel.
