The 1949 Affair… The story So far

 

Sometimes it’s really tough to catch up with a story that is more than a few chapters old. So I thought: why not make it easier with a quick summary post?

So here goes…

Lucy and Mark find they are in Blackpool, not Southend;  and the Nazis have won WW2. Fortunately their encounter with the Wehrmacht leads not  to a summary execution but a meeting with old friends and adversaries … However, while Mark heads off in a car with Walter Nicolai (Reichsfuhrer GB)  – Lucy has discovered that Marconi’s diaries are located at Alexandra Palace – once home to the BBC – now Head Quarters to the victorious and occupying powers.

In a change to their plans, Lucy finds herself abandoned by Lady Frances and  left all alone with Valentin Von Schmidt – a psychiatrist and former admiral in the Kriegsmarine – at the Leytonstone Displacement Camp. Her job is simple – she has to find the second part of the Marconi diary. Unfortunately, only one man knows their location – the infamous madman of Leytonstone. And he will only talk to blonds.

Meanwhile, Mark has been beaten within an inch of his life and lies unconscious in the infirmary of the Volks Palast
