Clubfoot the Avenger Being some further adventures of Desmond Oakwood, of the Secret Service

When an ominous rain drenches the streets of London, a string of unexplained deaths pulls two retired Secret Service brothers back into a world they thought they had left behind. Their old comrade, Major Desmond Okewood, and his brother Francis are summoned after the apparent suicides of Sir Wetherby Soukes, Colonel Branxe, and Mr. Fawcett Wilbur turn out to be the work of a single, elusive foe. The enemy is Dr. Adolf Grundt, known as “Man with the Clubfoot,” a former German intelligence operative whose return threatens to unleash a hidden vendetta against Britain.

The narrative unfolds through a series of recollections gathered on tennis courts, railway carriages, and quiet cafés, giving listeners a vivid sense of post‑war intrigue and the lingering shadows of imperial espionage. As the Okewood brothers follow cryptic clues—a purple cabriolet, whispered names, and a trail of unsettling murders—they must balance old loyalties with the danger of a revenge plot that reaches deep into the secret services. The opening act sets a tense, atmospheric stage, promising a blend of historical suspense and personal drama that will keep ears tuned for every twist.
