Table of Contents
NIGHT OF THE FOX was first published in the UK by Collins in 1986. It was later published in paperback by Penguin but has been out of print for several years.
In 2012, it seemed to the author and his publishers that it was a pity to leave such a wonderful story languishing on his shelves. So we are delighted to be able to bring back NIGHT OF THE FOX for the pleasure of the vast majority of us who never had a chance to read the earlier editions.
For Vivienne Mylne
The German Occupation of the British Channel Islands during the Second World War is a matter of fact. Although mention is made of certain political and military leaders within the historical context of the period, it must be stressed that this is a work of fiction, nor is any reference intended to living persons.
The Romans used to think that the souls of the departed stayed near their tombs. It was easy to believe that on a cold March morning, with a sky so black that it was as if night was about to fall.
