Sowerbutt's Birds

After the shots, long seconds of silence followed, then a high-pitched “chic, chic, chic” as the wagtails started chattering again in the nearby marshy field.

Sowerbutt's Bicycle

Sowerbutt dived off his bicycle, drawing his revolver as he fell into the hawthorn hedge, the bicycle toppling on top of him.

Sowerbutt's Bullet

The .455 bullet thudded into the beech tree, which had stood as a sentinel over the fields north of the forests on the Fakenham road for years.

Sowerbutt's Escape

Minutes later, the panniers and rucksacks were packed and the empty crates were back in the wrecked car. 

“No trace of any cyclists having anything to do with this. That track along the field is hard with the frost. No footprints to find, not that the bobbies will look that far. They’ll pass it over to Scotland Yard and the detectives will arrive too late to find anything.”

Sowerbutt's Roadblock

Smiling, Paul Longhurst ran over to the wrecked car. Opening the driver’s door, he switched off the engine and pocketed the keys. Pushing the driver’s bloody body back into his seat, he pulled the handbrake hard. “Perfect, the road is blocked without us having to do anything."

Sowerbutt's Crash

Out of control, the car, which had been travelling at more than 50mph along the narrow road, side-swiped the hedgerow, then swerved across into the other bank, the right headlamp shattering as it smashed against a large beech tree.

Sowerbutt's Bullets

Harriet Warfield screamed as four .455 bullets shattered the Singer’s windscreen and hit Bobby in the head and chest. Dying instantly, the blond 20-something slumped forward onto the wheel.
