Helen Wheels by Fionn Foley.
A comic tale of narcotics, fast food and a mother’s love for her son, set in Belfast at the height of the pandemic. Helen’s son, Lorcan, works as a bicycle courier for a food delivery company. Helen is alarmed to discover drug packages in her son’s delivery bag. She decides to intervene, taking the bike out to make final deliveries, and warning Lorcan’s customers to never call on her son again. After a few chance meetings, the adventure takes a turn when Helen decides to sample the merchandise.
