Sowerbutt's Secrets

“You gave no quarter, dear boy?” Churchill growled. “The Reds are in our debt for the secrets we have shared, I will tolerate no nonsense from them.”

Sowerbutt's Explosions

Two white and yellow explosions tore through the braking Austin, the roof flying into the air. Flames and smoke engulfed the car with another explosion following as the petrol tank went up.

Sowerbutt's Shots

Sowerbutt fired four shots from his Enfield revolver, shattering the car window. The two Mills grenades with four-second fuses followed, the motor-bike screaming away."

Sowerbutt's Bullet

“A single bullet from here as he passes, Mr Sorbay, and he would be a dead man,” Lee Gerard said. “Clean, fast and we could disappear.”

Sowerbutt's Quandry

"King Victor Emmanuel is in a quandry.  Fearful of staying and the consequences of defeat, fearful of fleeing and an uncertain future. Doing nothing is his foolish solution. The increasing tempo of our RAF raids may change his mind.”

Sowerbutt's Date

"By a roundabout route, Mr Bracken has arranged for what we think is the date of the Jerry invasion to fall into Soviet hands. It is in the hands of the Almighty whether Comrade Stalin will act on what they have been told.”

Sowerbutt's Pie

“How’s the brothel-keeper after all the recent activity? No doubt, the Old Man will ask,” Brendan Bracken said. “Back running his black-market activities, I’d say, sir. Has his fingers in just about every pie in the East End."

Sowerbutt's War

"This operation will save thousands of British lives. Bringing forward Jerry and the Reds fighting each other by a day, a week, a month will save London and our cities. The Luftwaffe boys will fly east as the Russian bear awakens and stretches out its claws."

Sowerbutt's Message

“All’s well that ends well, I’d say, sir,” the slight military man said. “The message has been delivered innocently, the turned Jerry is safe for another day and the Russkie escaped legitimately."

Sowerbutt's Story

Sowerbutt sighed: “We’ve had a hard few days, Polly. The Reds snatched Lee, cut Cocker and did over his cousin."

Sowerbutt's Bumpf

Sowerbutt was catching up with the war-time paperwork, bumpf from Poplar Council, the local ARP committee, the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of Food, the Secretary for Petroleum, the Ministry for Pensions.

Sowerbutt's Warning

“That bastard, Vershinin. He’ll keep, nobody cuts my lads and survives,” Sowerbutt said.

Sowerbutt's Moves

Sowerbutt weaved and ducked across the floor towards the curtain, his Smith & Wesson drawn.

Sowerbutt's Grenades

Gerard kickstarted the motor-bike; both men carried Enfield No 2 revolvers with their serial numbers filed off.  Several had been stolen recently from Gough Barracks in Armagh. Sowerbutt also had two Mills grenades in his pockets which he had bought from his mate in the Tower Hamlets Rifles.

Sowerbutt's Sale

Sowerbutt, who played the awkward boyfriend, had watched in amazement as Ruth Shakes, his tailor’s cousin, negotiated the sale. Wearing a wig and heavy make-up, Ruth had sworn at the dealer, threatened him with her fist and slapped his face when he peeked down her low-cut blouse.

Sowerbutt's Rules

“My rules are simple. I minimise risks, I look after the Family and I deal with anyone who crosses my path,” Sowerbutt said.

Sowerbutt's Spark

“After a winter of despair, our victories offer a spark of hope, Majesty. Some, like Bardia and now Tobruk, we can trumpet to show the Cousins what stern stuff our Empire is made of. Others, just as important, we must cloak with the veil of silence, perhaps forever,” Churchill growled.

Sowerbutt's Beer

One-Line grabbed the nearest Red and hurled him through the open door; the man’s glass spraying beer across the floor.

Sowerbutt's Lamppost

The length of cast-iron lamppost with handles welded onto it would have tested the strength of most men.  With one mighty swing, One-Line crashed it into the doors of the lock-up; the timber shattering.

Sowerbutt's Champagne

“A wrong step by our East End friend will prove a disaster for His Majesty’s First Minister. What will we do for supplies of Pol Roger? The Continent is closed; our London wholesalers have run dry. Mr Sorbay is the only man who can save us,” Churchill said.

Sowerbutt's Friend

Churchill’s eyes twinkled. “Mr Sorbay, I remember the name. A man who gets things done, I like him."

Sowerbutt's Geese

“My golden geese at Bletchley work on the Soviets’ code when they have moments to spare," Churchill growled. "Few and far between, I fear, with the secrets of the Blitz and the Battle of the Atlantic to crack."

Sowerbutt's Plan

“Your divisions of deceit are on the march, dear boy. I like it,” Churchill growled.

Sowerbutt's Transmission

“Report from the Radio Security Service, Prime Minister. An unexpected transmission from the Soviet Embassy last night. The men from Marx always transmit at set times on particular days."

Sowerbutt's Enemies

A couple of Reds were tied to a lamppost for the crowd, which had gathered, to jeer and use as target practice with mud and rotten fruit from a nearby greengrocer’s.

Sowerbutt's Chain

A long bike chain whipped across the floor from the side door where Panda was standing. It wrapped itself around the legs of one drinker, who toppled to the floor, beer splashing everywhere.

Sowerbutt's Fists

Two burly men, both casual porters in the hospital, foolishly moved towards One-Line, fists raised. Blows from his giant fists felled them in seconds.
