SHINGLE STREET
A novel by James Hayward


......

Shingle Street by James Hayward is a fictionalised sequel to The Bodies on the Beach. During the tense invasion summer of 1940, Captain John Goodman, a junior officer wounded in France, finds himself drawn reluctantly into a tangled web of romance and high-level intrigue. As German commandos probe the English coastline, Goodman takes centre-stage in a series of increasingly elaborate (and sometimes farcical) deceptions which end in an explosive climax on the Suffolk coast at Bawdsey.

Steeped in the atmosphere of wartime Britain, and based in part of actual events, Shingle Street is gripping 'faction', a compelling and fast-paced thriller of conflict and conscience, love and betrayal, set against the background of Britain's finest, darkest hour. The book costs just £6.99. To read a sample chapter click here.

"James Hayward turns faction into a gripping tale. He certainly captures the mood of the time by throwing in many true incidents when Britain stood alone. I found it difficult to put down this book" (Terry Sutton, Dover Express 6/02); "I read this with the charm of the golden age of 'adventure stories' in mind and found I couldn't put it down. I nearly missed my station after two hours of reading on the train - it takes the reader back to the mood of the time and manages to capture the atmosphere of early wartime Britain superbly" (Bryan Webb, The 1940 Society)
