From Rocket with Love — Chris Dyer

Mike Willett should be bathing in glory. Instead his reliance on numbing his emotions with a whiskey bottle make his mercurial personality a thousand times worse. In a fit of angst, Mike seems to have disappeared from the face of the Earth. Can the kidnapping of Rocket's foal bring him back? Will his new found love bring about a rehabilitation of the old Mike? His life becomes even more complicated as he finds he is also a fugitive and a suspect in the crime he is trying to solve.
