Sowerbutt's Nightclub

The atmosphere in the fashionable Café de Paris in Coventry Street was different to his last visit, Sowerbutt thought. Quieter, more sombre. A lot of the men were in uniform.

Sowerbutt's Robbery

"One of the bosses at New Scotland Yard has a theory about the Croydon robbery. They got away with a fortune ˗ more than £200,000, not that we’re letting on. He thinks it is an underground Blackshirt group, planning to use the money to finance some sort of pro-Jerry coup."

Sowerbutt's Break-In


Tipper slipped through the shadows on the manicured lawns of the Italianate mansion in South Kensington. He froze, waiting for a couple of armed guards to pass, then picked his way towards the marble steps leading to the imposing front entrance.

Sowerbutt's Letter


“On his return home, he’ll drop off the letter that you gave me with a friend at the German Embassy in Madrid. Its contents will be in Berlin in a matter of hours.”

Sowerbutt's Blow

With a single blow of the metal bar, One-Line shattered the passenger window. Mr Witherspoon turned white and clutched at the window sill. He looked as though he had suffered a heart attack.

Sowerbutt's Policy

“You will get used to me, Mr Witherspoon. I treat my friends very fairly, my enemies regret their decision.” Polly smiled.

Sowerbutt's Photographs

“It’s not the photographs I mind, Mr Sorbay. I’m rather proud of my acrobatics,” Madame Komarovski said. “Rather it is the threat that upsets me."

Sowerbutt's Security

“Never seen such security - barbed wire, trip wires, electrified wire, broken glass, traps, strips of nails, armed guards. I even spotted a couple of sound detectors. Wonder which of the 20 bedrooms His Gloriousness Ambassador Maisky kips in?"

Sowerbutt's Letter


A carbon-copy of the letter is contained in an acid-free archival storage box, kept under tight guard in an anonymous facility in the Home Counties, designated under the Official Secrets Act of 1989.

Sowerbutt's Messages

"We never had any dealings with the Italian Embassy when it was open. Too busy with their wine and women. Messages were passed through Spanish diplomats sympathetic to the cause of peace and who had contacts in Berlin."

Sowerbutt's Hotel


Peter de Wolkova looked around his new home, a double room in a shabby hotel not far from Kings Cross station. It was a big improvement on the stinking solitary cell in Brixton Prison.

Sowerbutt's Patience


Churchill snapped impatiently. “Politics is the art of the possible. I want it possible to save London. Do whatever is necessary.”

Sowerbutt's Body

Brendan Bracken managed to corner Churchill for a few moments. “We’ve heard nothing from the fat fool in Karinhall, Prime Minister, about the body. It has left Lisbon on its way to Berlin."

Sowerbutt's Service

St Paul’s Cathedral was packed for the Service of Deliverance. King George, the Queen, the two Royal princesses, the King’s younger brothers and their families. Churchill and most of his Cabinet.

Sowerbutt's Car

The plump man’s eyes bulged. Downstairs in the yard, a giant of a man, holding a metal bar, stood beside a highly-polished Model-T Ford. It was Mr Witherspoon’s pride and joy.

Sowerbutt's Lesson


Sowerbutt said: "Nobody threatens the Family. If your visitors don’t know the rules of the streets, they will  learn the hard way.”

Sowerbutt's Photographs

“When I was a young woman in Moscow, I worked part-time for the Okhrana, the Tsarist secret police. I entertained foreign diplomats, businessmen and so on. Photographs were taken on occasion. With the Revolution, the old files were taken over by the Reds."

Sowerbutt's Escape


The two men were out of the back window of the terrace and across the garden wall into the adjacent clothing factory site within seconds. Their rubber-soled boots had not made a sound. Dogs across the neighbourhood had started their cacophony after the gunshot.

Sowerbutt's Gunshot

The crack of the gunshot filled the bedroom, followed by a deathly silence; Sowerbutt watching aghast as a small black hole with blood welling out appeared in the forehead of the man bound in the chair.

Sowerbutt's Forger


The Scribe, who operated out of a small garage in Peckham, was the best forger in the East End. Since the war started, he had cornered most of the profitable market for forged medical exemptions, petrol coupons, ration books and approvals for the myriad of wartime regulations.

Sowerbutt's Neck

One-Line, a giant of a man, held the skinny youth by the neck at arms length, his legs kicking in the air. Youre strangling me, mister, I cant breathe.

Sowerbutt's Suggestion


De Wolkova looked at the Brigadefuhrer. “You will want to meet more members of the Peace Party, to hear what they have to say too? We have many important members.”

Sowerbutt's Progress


The SS Brigadefuhrer stood. “My trip to England has been a success; the Reichsmarschall will be pleased. When I return to the Reich I will report personally to him at Carinhall about our progress.”

Sowerbutt's Discussions

The SS Brigadefuhrer said: “We must discuss your politics straightaway, Mr de Wolkova. I have to pass on my message to Dublin urgently."

Sowerbutt's Habit


May I introduce SS Brigadefuhrer Wilhelm Henschke or Willy to his friends. Don’t put your arm up, Willy, there’s a good chap. You must get out of the habit during your sojourn over here.”
