Churchill's Hanging

Churchill said: "Franco is a tough negotiator. We offered to pay him hard currency for a couple of his Republican prisoners, experts in murder and mayhem. He had them hung instead, just to spite us.”

Sowerbutt's Bath

In the midst of the steaming bathwater, a bright pink whale was happily splashing around; a couple of wooden boats that Churchill had treasured since his childhood floating between the mountains of soapsuds.

Sowerbutt's History

“The history of the British people must uplifting and glorious,” Churchill said. “All these murky messages, these dark secrets must be buried forever. Entomb them in your file, Brendan, and pray that they remain untouched by any future hand.”

Sowerbutt's Gas

The fire that Tipper lit under the gas pipe in the empty building had done the trick. A column of blue and yellow flames shot into the air.

Sowerbutt's Banknotes

Inside the warehouse office, Tipper spotted the small bald man with a waxed moustache, known locally as Hercule Poirot, sweeping bundles of banknotes from an open safe into a Gladstone bag.

Sowerbutt's Fire

Shapiro watched goggle-eyed as Tipper lit a twist of cloth and tossed it towards a pool of paraffin not far from the sacks of fertiliser. He later told Sowerbutt he was not sure who made the yard door first, he had never expected the fat little man to move so fast.

Sowerbutt's Eye

“You won’t get away with this, Sorbay, you bastard,” the hawk-faced man with a shock of black hair said. His right eye was already starting to close.

Sowerbutt's Grave

A curious assortment of eyes watched the coffin being lowered into the grave at the cemetery, a stone’s throw from Mile End Road in London’s East End, still flattened after the recent war.

Sowerbutt's File

The burial form, a typed foolscap sheet with the printed heading of Poplar Coroner’s Court giving details of the inquest and a cutting from the London Evening Standard reporting a fatal road accident on the East India Dock Road, together with a number of loose foolscap sheets and other material, were contained in a water-stained beige HMSO-issue file.

Sowerbutt's Rank

Churchill sat at the large table, strewn with maps. “Do they think they outrank me? The generals believe they are a law unto themselves and not subject to the will of His Majesty’s duly-elected Government."

Sowerbutt's Message

Brendan Bracken said: “The messenger also brought a message from El Caudillo that he is prepared to fly to London to mediate an end to the war.”

Sowerbutt's Bath

Brendan Bracken perched uncomfortably on the toilet in the cramped first-floor bathroom at No 10. To his right, the cast-iron bath-tub, which had seen many famous occupants, was almost full to the brim.

Sowerbutt's Memories

"Captain Marendaz used to run a business at the airfield. Apart from flying, Marendaz made sports cars. He had a place in Brixton and he was a good friend of Mosley. They used to race cars together. Wonder if Mosley is involved in the talks?"

Sowerbutt's Guest

Spaghetti grinned: “Who’s the VIP, guv? Must be somebody important to go to all this fuss. And they told you to shoot to kill if necessary with any intruders."

Sowerbutt's Airfield

The airfield was sealed tight with men watching Faldo Road, strung along the boundary tracks, stationed in Brooke End Green Farm where the elderly farmer had pocketed a tenner for his troubles and in the seven pill boxes thrown up hurriedly a few weeks earlier.

Sowerbutt's Post

Tipper snapped at the guard: “You can pace up and down, you can smoke, you can take a piss, but you will not leave your post.”

Sowerbutt's Orders

Sowerbutt snapped: “One more slap and gag him, One-Line. Let him stew for a bit."

Sowerbutt's Mark

Sowerbutt ran the needle-sharp point of the blade across the teacher’s exposed throat, leaving a thin red line in its wake.

Sowerbutt's Knife

Sowerbutt slowly opened his razor-sharp clasp-knife and began shaving stubble from the shaking teacher’s face.

Sowerbutt's Threat

“You’ve broken the truce, Sorbay, you bastard. We’ll be after you ten-fold, we’ll sweep you Blackshirt bastards from the streets of Poplar like horse dung."
