Book description
My old skipper once told me to always expect the unexpected. I should
have listened to him . . . When a plane crash leaves Charlie Bassett
rested from the RAF, he receives unexpected orders - to locate the
elusive, pregnant Grace Baker and bring her home. But Grace, who has
been following the armed forces across Europe, clearly does not want to
be found, and despite Charlie's personal stake in it, this bizarre and
challenging mission is still one he would rather avoid. Nevertheless,
Charlie finds himself journeying to France in a car named Kate, with a
dubious, eccentric Army Major and his loyal Sergeant - two men who are
evidently going about mysterious duties of their own. And as Charlie
moves slowly towards the front-line on this exhilarating road trip, so
too does he draw closer to the woman he once loved and lost . . .
David Fiddimore was born in 1944 in Yorkshire and is married with two
children. He worked for five years at the Royal Veterinary College

to the investigation and intelligence divisions.
