About this ebook
The greatest prize at the London 2012 Olympics isn't gold...it's the Holy Grail.
There's a rumour there's treasure buried beneath the Olympic site. And that a secret army is going to find it. Only nobody believes it. But when a mysterious group of pirates move to the East End, people become suspicious.And when Cockneys start disappearing, the Pearly King demands answers. But that's the least of Oscar's worries - all he wants to do is kill some cockroaches. The problem is, he's using a chemical weapon to do it.
The Pirates of Maryland Point is a fast-paced, who-dunnit, Cockney comedy caper packed with pirates and pie and mash.
"For fans of Robert Rankin, Jasper Fforde or Douglas Adams."

About the author
Dot Gumbi writes comedy, mostly bonkers comedy.
If you like Douglas Adams, Jasper Fforde or Robert Rankin, he's probably worth trying out. If you don't like those authors...then give him a swerve.
His first novel 'The Pirates of Maryland Point' was well received (not just by his mum, but by others too) and has been in the Free Kindle Comedy Top 100 for almost a year. Which he's dead chuffed about.
