Old spymasters never retire,
they just change direction
Sometimes the stories grandparents tell seem just that,
stories. After the death of her mother, Joanna Fallon
visits an old lady who claims to be her grandmother,
Maria. She tells Joanna a detailed story of how she met
her grandfather, David, and how they ran a yacht charter
business in the south of France in the late 1930s. David
disappeared at the beginning of World War II.
Now that the war records have been opened, Maria asks
Joanna to find out what happened to David. A simple
task? When skeptical Joanna sets out to confirm Maria’s
story she discovers it is true, but not the whole truth.
There is a lot more. Unbelievably more. Has Maria
cleverly set a trap using Joanna as the bait? What Joanna
finds is the untold, horrifying other half of the story.
About the Author
John McLeod Harris is a retired Australian Air Force
pilot whose hobbies include flying his homebuilt aircraft,
sailing and writing stories. He is always surprised by the
number of people other authors thank at the end of their
books and thinks that is just a way to spread the blame
for likely errors. He has no-one to thank for this story,
it is all straight out of his imagination, pure fiction.
The people he does want to thank are the publishers,
Fontaine Publishing Group, and the professionalism of
their staff for getting the story ‘out there’.
Anyone who reads the story and has a comment or
complaint is invited to contact the author direct.
