Pawns

An In Memoriam notice in The Times mourns the loss of Sidney Albright DCM, late of the Queen's Own Northumberland Rifles, who served his country in WW1. Except that there was no Sidney Albright. What can it mean? Is Housemartin still alive? Has he resurfaced after so many years? Or is he dead? Perhaps he has been turned.Set after the fall of the caliphate and in the wake of an unprecedented terrorist attack near the Tower of London, the head of SO15 receives contact from a sleeper agent long thought dead. It is All Hallows Eve, the night of a new moon. Is it a trick or a treat? Is Housemartin still active, or is it a hoax?With resources stretched, two new recruits are assigned to move into the former home of the agent to await his return. The pair soon realise that they need to find the link between Housemartin and the mysterious death of a man on the night of the bombing - and they need to do it before the bombers strike again.All royalties received for Pawns will be donated to Prostate Cancer UK.
