Description
In the years leading up to the Second World War, a steady trickle of German agents make their way quietly across the English Channel where they disappear into the anonymity of the British way of life. Some feed back information to their masters in Berlin while others simply wait for the signal to act.
At the outbreak of hostilities, two agents are given their assignment: An audacious theft from under the very noses of the British Secret Service who in turn are desperately trying to locate and eliminate them. But they are not alone. At the very heart of the country that they are hoping to destroy, others are quietly helping them.....

Person
Blacksmith's son, David Lunt, was born in Colne, Lancashire (UK).This was one of the last places in the world where "Poor Man's Golf" (knurr and spell) was played. Having earlier written a biography about Australian professional golfer, Jack Harris, and having struggled to play the game of golf himself for over sixty years, Lunt decided that it was now time to understand how and where this obsession, which is shared by millions of nutters all around the world, had its genesis. His findings were very surprising.Equally surprising was the fact that knurr and spell had also been played in Philadelphia, USA in the early 1860s prior to the rapid growth in the game of baseball. But that may be a story for the future!
