Sowerbutt's Wardrobe

The slight military man, walking along the Calle Major in Alicante, was wearing a black baseball cap with the orange insignia of the New York Giants, a yellow shirt covered with strange wave-like swirls and royal blue shorts.

Sowerbutt's Plot

"You’ll recall, Prime Minister, the object of the exercise was to put Jerry and the Reds head-to-head in the ring but also to raise the spectre of a Blackshirt coup to worry the Cousins into increasing their support."

Sowerbutt's Debt

“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 Attack

Six days after the grenade attack, Brendan Bracken, followed by the slight military man, stepped out of the government Daimler, pulled up outside the Soviet Embassy in Kensington Palace Gardens.

Sowerbutt's Explosions

As the motor-bike raced south towards Kensington High Street, two white and yellow explosions tore through the braking Austin, the roof flying into the air.

Sowerbutt's Revolver

Sowerbutt thought he saw a gun being pulled before he fired four shots from his Enfield revolver, shattering the window.

Sowerbutt's Motor-Bike

As the car passed Palace Gardens Mews, the motor-bike pulled out behind it, accelerating to draw level. Sowerbutt could see Vershinin in the back seat.

Sowerbutt's Moll

Sowerbutt's Bullet

Sowerbutt's Alibi

Sowerbutt said: "We won’t advertise that we did the killing. We’ll have concrete alibis and a trail of clues will point elsewhere."

Sowerbutt's Emotions

Lee Gerard said: “Vershinin. I have been trained not to have emotions, Mr Sorbay. But I would enjoy taking Vershinin down a peg or two."

Sowerbutt's Enemy

Sowerbutt said: “Vershinin. The arrogant bastard acts with impunity in the Smoke. He cuts one of my men. No-one does that and survives."

Sowerbutt's Wine

"Cook is preparing this Woolton Pie with vegetables from the Palace allotment. We are in luck, however, Her Majesty didn’t mention the wine," the King said.

Sowerbutt's Commission

"My chap Sneed is full of good ideas to leak to Jerry. Not exactly officer material, but we may need to commission him."

Sowerbutt's Pie

"Sorbay is back running his black-market, I’d say, sir. Has his fingers in just about every pie in the East End."

Sowerbutt's Generosity

Franco said: "Many terrible things happened during the years of fighting, but I will carry the loss of my beloved goddaughter, Kasandra, in my heart forever. You were too generous to the scum who murdered our poor girl. I would have crucified him and left him as carrion."

Sowerbutt's Friend

Generalissimo Franco rose from his chair, walked heavily across the ornate reception room in the Pazo de Meiras at Sada, put his hands on Sowerbutt’s shoulders and kissed both his cheeks.

Sowerbutt's Friend

Sowerbutt sat down quickly, well aware of the Spanish leader’s sensitivity about his short stature. “El Caudillo, I am honoured to be invited to your summer home here in Galicia.”

Sowerbutt's Secrets

The file’s former occupants were separately stamped “Never To Be Released”, placed in an acid-free archival storage box and driven under close escort some miles from Kew to a tightly-guarded anonymous storage facility, designated under the Official Secrets Act of 1989.

Sowerbutt's Brandy

A hurriedly-brought balloon of Metaxa Private Reserve brandy did little to calm the apoplectic brow.

Sowerbutt's Finger

Sowerbutt's Grave

The newcomer swept the bowler off his mop of bottle-yellow hair, held it out in silent salute and bowed low as the gravediggers began shovelling the clay soil into the grave.
