A Ticket to Tewkesbury by Neal James

The envelope in Aunt Molly’s bag was unopened. It was also very old and bore a name and address which had not appeared amongst any of the other of her possessions. Julie had been sitting amongst all the rest of her aunt’s belongings staring at the thing when her husband Doug arrived. Encouraged by him she opened it and unwittingly started a chain of events which traversed the entire country.

It had been written by a soldier returning home after the end of the Second World War to a nurse in Cleethorpes. They had met at a rehabilitation hospital in Kent and fell head over heels in love. That much was clear from the brief note, but what remained was a mystery. Julie loved mysteries and set off on a quest to locate the intended recipient of the communication.

That quest was to take her and her long-suffering husband on a journey from the peaceful and idyllic town of Tewkesbury on the River Avon in Gloucestershire to the East Coast holiday resort of Cleethorpes. Their discoveries at these locations unearthed an organisation whose roots lay deep within the Fascism which had threatened to engulf Europe in the 1940s, and activated a series of triggers which had lain dormant since that time.

Roger Fretwell, the soldier, had brought back from Germany a package of documents dropped by a fleeing German in the uniform of the Third Reich. He neither read nor spoke the language at the time and they lay hidden in a place known only to his wife Madeline, the nurse, since then. Now that Julie’s enquiries had alerted competing parties to the existence of Roger and Madeline, events started to move with a sinister and threatening pace as opposing forces fought for possession of a set of documents so sensitive that their publication would shatter the very foundations of democracy in Britain.
