Sowerbutt's Break-In

Spaghetti slipped the latch on the scullery window with his knife and seconds later the two men were heading up the stairs to start checking the four-storey townhouse in Cheyne Walk; the young owner was safely ensconced in a farm cottage, well away from the bombing.

Sowerbutt's Transmitter

As the minutes ticked by, Nero wondered where the spy was heading. He guessed the heavy backpack, that he could just make out in the moonlight, contained the transmitter. A transmission to Hamburg, a clandestine meeting or breakout and heading for the Irish ferries.

Sowerbutt's Shadow

Nero glided along the country lane, barely leaving a mark. He slowed to a standstill when Gerhard stopped and he accelerated when the former soldier got on his way again. Nero would have admitted that he had never tracked anyone cross-country before. His experience was the tough streets of East London.

Sowerbutt's Spy


Gerhard stood still, like a gamekeeper’s dog; sniffing the wind, ears alert and eyes peering through the darkness. Nothing, a whiff of manure and the sickly scent of rotting leaves. Wind rustled through the trees, a dog barked in the distance. The former soldier stiffened as a branch creaked in the nearby woodland. Silence.

Sowerbutt's Robbery


“My constitutional duty, Majesty, is to furnish you with what information I have to hand. I must confess that I possess very little. I am informed that Commissioner Game’s officers have questioned several witnesses with little result and they have the two stolen motor vehicles in their possession. The Metropolitan Police Force has failed to locate the van in which the robbers fled or the stolen money, some £300,000. A considerable fortune,” Churchill growled.

Sowerbutt's Help


“We’ve put a couple of toffs on the Thurrock farm; they pay a good rent to avoid the bombing. I’ve got a couple more seeking the quiet life lined up.” Jo-Jo nodded: “Not a problem, guv. I can keep an eye on anyone you want to send here.” Sowerbutt puffed on his corona. “Win-win, Jo-Jo. While the toffs are safe and sound in their bolthole, we check out their houses. Just to help with storage, of course.”

Sowerbutt's Farm


“I’ve been thinking about a couple of farms near here. More and more hungry workers in Luton and easy to train goods down to the Smoke.” Polly grinned: “You’re two steps behind us, Sorbay. Jo-Jo is already having a scout around. Good properties on the market - near the aerodrome, out on the Hitchin road, up towards Bedford. People walking off the land with the well-paid factory jobs, they want the easy life, then there’s the call-up."
