The Operation

Back in 1964 when Mike was young and footloose he had an idea. One hell of an idea actually. Working in the bank all day cooped up away from the tourist totty he had plenty of time to think. So think he did and he became the man with the plan. The Operation. Now of course hes settled down long married to the gorgeous Carole and happy with his life in France. But theres a little cloud on the horizon: Carole wants to know about his past. He could lie but hes not really that kind of guy never was and anyway he loves her. But what a risk! To make matters easier he decides to write down the story of the Operation for Carole to read. Writing isnt easy amongst the other demands of his busy life in the village of St Sardos but he makes the time. After all an adoring wife of twenty-eight years deserves to know if her husband is a bank robber! Mikes story darts from the past to the present and back again evoking 1960s Jersey with a sharp sense of nostalgia and building suspense with every turn. Getting to know the many characters populating this well-defined world is a delight and as the story progresses youll be holding your breath for Mike hoping all will go to plan!
