The Heroes
John E. Lawrence
Newly Revised Edition
A newly revised edition of John E. Lawrence’s mystery thriller, The Heroes.
In 1968, five boys at a Sussex primary school were known as The Heroes.
Then one of them died.
On the same day, their headmaster disappeared. His car was later found at Beachy Head, but his body was never recovered.
Over fifty years later, private investigators Rosemary Bennett and Robert Fox are asked to uncover what really happened. Their only clues are an old class photograph, a cryptic handwritten note saying, "Karen. I'm sorry. Peter" and the dying boy’s final words: “The spacemen.”
As Fox and Bennett begin tracing the surviving Heroes, people start dying, old secrets surface, and a mysterious woman in motorcycle leathers shadows their every move.
What begins as a cold case for the PI duo soon develops into a dangerous conspiracy involving classified research, intelligence services and events buried since 1968.
Because the children saw something they were never meant to see.
And someone is still prepared to kill to keep it hidden.
