Chapman's next novel
will be published on 25th January 2018.
It is midnight early in World War Two. An RAF
Wellington bomber has been shot down by enemy fire – the rear gunner and
radio dead.
The aircraft floats in the English Channel off the coast of France.
Three surviving airmen are in a rubber dinghy. They are alive. But for
how long?
Will Flight Sergeant Ted Wilson's officially issued carrier pigeons –
Gert and Daisy – fly home at once to request rescue? No. Pigeons have
minds of their own. They prefer to wait until sunrise. Six hours ahead.
Which could be too late.
