Publisher's Synopsis
Rowena Furse and Erika von Tirpitz are unlikely friends. While Rowena loves gardening and opera, Erika occupies her time with gin and men. Despite their differing lifestyles, they have one thing in common - Mr Morell, an elderly German refugee they have taken under their wing. One afternoon, led astray by Erika, the usually teetotal Mr Morell drinks some gin and makes an astonishing confession. The revelation sparks a bizarre chain of events which leads from leafy Surrey to the Canary Islands and back again. But is Morell's claim genuine, or is he, in Erika's words, just 'plain bonkers'?
