Sowerbutt's Doubts

Churchill said: “I harbour no doubts that my difficult Foreign Secretary has daily contacts with his fat favourite, the pharaoh of Rome, and maybe Jerry too."

Sowerbutt's Wrath

The explosion could be heard well beyond the walls of the Cabinet Room. Officials and servants nearby hurriedly found pressing tasks elsewhere, it did not pay to be a witness to the Prime Minister’s wrath.

Sowerbutt's Search

The Prime Minister refilled his glass. “Find the Jerry, Brendan, track him to his lair and clear up the mess. Trailing our coat may save the Empire, but the risks are high."

Sowerbutt's Slap

The slap could be heard outside in the bar. The angry redhead leant over the desk, her finger inches from Sowerbutt’s surprised face. “You bastard. We’re partners, so you said, you discuss things with me first."

Sowerbutt's Silk

Sid Sirrett, the genial landlord, leant over the bar of the Leather Bottle in East Hyde. “What’s all this about some silk, Alf? You being an old bachelor and all. I didn’t think you were into ladies’ finery.”

Sowerbutt's Parachute

“It was when we were out searching in the fields, the officer didn’t say for what. A couple of the boys caught a rabbit, but I noticed somebody had been digging down near the river. I went back there later when it was all quiet and found a big bundle of silk. A parachute.”

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.”

Sowerbutt's Neck

One-Line, a giant of a man, held the skinny youth by the neck at arm’s length, his legs kicking in the air. “You’re strangling me, mister, I can’t breathe.”

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 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 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 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 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 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 Patience

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

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 Acrobatics

“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 Deal

"The Empire wants some sort of arrangement, we would welcome a Jerry envoy. That is our only hope to save poor London,” Churchill growled.

Sowerbutt's Bombs

The nightly bombing in London was non-stop. Several families whom Sowerbutt had known for years had disappeared under the rubble and a couple of his larders had gone up in smoke.

Sowerbutt's Supplies

Before Sowerbutt left the nightclub, he would check with Martin Poulson, the maitre d’hotel, about how his liquor stocks were faring. He knew of several elegant London residences with fine wine cellars whose occupants had vanished to more remote parts of the country.

Sowerbutt's London

Brendan Bracken paused: “The bombing goes on night after night, Sorbay. It is relentless. Our information is that more Jerry bomber squadrons are waiting in the wings. How long can London take it?"

Sowerbutt's Supplies

Sowerbutt said: “The East End is on a knife edge. Families won’t stand by and see their children starve. There’s very little food in the shops."

Sowerbutt's Generals

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 Forger

Sowerbutt said: “Making money hand over fist. Medical exemptions by the dozen, petrol coupons, ration books, ID cards, even passports for the Jewish lads. You name it, the Scribe is raking it in.”

Sowerbutt's Fire

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 Warning

“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 Fist

One-Line's palm connected with the teacher‘s face with a loud smack. His huge fist could kill a man at close range, but Sowerbutt had told his friend to be gentle.

Sowerbutt's Truce

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

Sowerbutt's Shave

He opened his razor-sharp clasp-knife and began shaving stubble from the shaking teacher’s face. “Traitors, are we? Haven’t seen you Reds do much for the war effort. Uncle Joe and Adolf kissing and cuddling together."

https://www.amazon.com/Colour-Red-Deal-Sowerbutt-Novels-ebook/dp/B00RL9FGKM? 

Sowerbutt's Warning

"Our intelligence suggests that tonight is going to be a heavy night. London again and perhaps some other cities, judging from what we know of the disposition of the Jerry bombing fleets. Perhaps another warning  from Rollmop Goering, talk or lose London.”

https://www.amazon.com/Colour-Red-Deal-Sowerbutt-Novels-ebook/dp/B00RL9FGKM?  

Sowerbutt's Revenge

"There has been more trouble with the Russkies in London, all over the popular newspapers. Two men from their embassy discovered in compromising circumstances and a warehouse at the Docks, which we suspect has been smuggling goods to the Bolsheviks, burnt to the ground.”

Sowerbutt's Aircraft

In the moonlit night sky, the twin-engine Jerry aircraft could be seen circling Barton airfield, its undercarriage down and its lights flickering in the agreed recognition code.
