Endeavour, free
Copley's Hunch by
Douglas Clark
By a chance meeting, Horton, a Spitfire pilot, and Copley, the commando sergeant of a small raiding party form an alliance to escape Nazi-held France.
Back home they are hailed as heroes—the pilot, Horton, especially, as he is the third of three brothers to have escaped from Nazi territory. But the sergeant, Copley, has nagging doubts about Horton’s story. He passes his doubts on to Military Intelligence. A very hush-hush investigation begins. And gradually a strange secret is revealed, and an even stranger conspiracy.
First published in 1980 by Gollancz.
Douglas Clark wrote over 20 crime novels and under this and other names, including James Ditton and Peter Hosier
