We Shouldn’t Be Here

Inside the Story

England, 1919.

The Great War had ended, but for millions, survival was only the beginning.

Detective Inspector John Hadleigh had once been an athlete, an Oxford scholar, an accomplished pianist and a decorated army officer. The Somme took his right arm and much of the man he had once been. The war left him alive, but unconvinced about the future.

Betts, too, had faced loss.

A widow from the same war, fiercely independent, intuitive and considerably more perceptive than most of the men around her, she became Hadleigh's driver, assistant and, increasingly, his equal.

An extraordinary case brought them together.

Something had fallen from the sky off the Dorset coast.

Shortly afterwards, four policemen died at the old Coast Guard station in Swanage. The building burned. Evidence disappeared. Witnesses offered stories that made little sense.

A mysterious woman appeared and vanished.

Hadleigh and Betts were sent to Swanage to discover what had happened. It looked like a murder investigation.

It was something much more.

The convent cell felt like a prison, tiny, oppressive. Clara pulled the coarse blanket around her and probed the mattress for a warmer, softer spot on the stiff straw. The flickering candle cast spidery shadows over barren stone walls, carping in their condemnation of this girl of fun and laughter. But Clara never lost the spark of hope. It burned bright.

A couple of hours later, Seven dragged her exhausted body onto the gritty, wet sand. The swim out was easy enough, but the return journey, with two utility packs and a transponder, required an almost Herculean effort. But physical strength was part of her makeup, as well as a dogged, do-or-die mindset. She lay on her back and stared at the stars. Waves tugged at her body. As the tide receded, she felt the pounding of heavy footsteps. She was no longer alone.

"All right, what's goin' on?" A gruff voice broke the silence. A dazzling bright light beamed on her face.

"Stand and identify yourself," another voice insisted.

Seven raised a hand to shield her eyes.

"An' no funny business," the first voice warned.

The old Coast Guard station housed a sergeant and three constables. Their duty was to patrol the many miles of picture-perfect Dorset coastline. They relished their demanding role, the protection of the town’s solid citizens soundly asleep in their beds.

Taylor crashed the hammer against the first of Seven's silver boxes. It didn't make the least impression, not a single mark. "What the bloody hell is this made of? Not even a scratch," he muttered and ran his fingers over the surface.

Detective Inspector Hadleigh was a popular man. Fellows doffed their hats when they passed him in the street. Ladies smiled shyly, hoping to catch his eye. Hadleigh had been a celebrated athlete before the war; he won medals in fencing, rowing, and climbing mountains. But it wasn’t only sport; he was a superb and acclaimed pianist, he read Classics at Oxford, and when the war began, he volunteered without hesitation and rose rapidly to the rank of Captain. In battle, he proved heroic, a leader of men until the Somme, which took away his right arm and everything he knew and loved.

Time travellers stranded in the early twentieth century become caught up in historical events that could significantly alter the timeline they came from.

Inside the Story

In their convent on the outskirts of town, the Sisters of Mercy confronted another mystery. A very tall, desperately injured stranger had been found close to death in a beach hut. He had no name, no history, and no chance of survival. The end was near, terminated with a generous shot of morphine.

One young novice, Sister Clara, refused to accept his opiate demise. Her compassion kept him alive. He could barely move, but he understood. He possessed unique abilities, and nobody knew. At that point, neither did he.

He had a colleague; she called herself Seven—she called him Five.

Seven had dragged Five from the sea after their spacecraft crashed off the English coast. She saved his life and returned to recover essential items from their ship. She came back and collided violently with a world for which she was completely unprepared.

Like Five, Seven came from more than three centuries in the future.

The England in which she found herself trapped proved to be primitive, contradictory and frequently incomprehensible. The people fascinated and appalled her. They smoked, drank, ate animals, worshipped gods, divided themselves by social hierarchy and gender. Nationally and internationally, they had only recently emerged from a war of industrial slaughter.

They also had hair. Everywhere.

Seven had none, anywhere.

Her first challenge was not simply survival. She had to learn how to pass unnoticed in 1919.

But something far more profound had begun.

Seven came from a civilisation in which human existence had become highly ordered, enhanced and controlled. The future had eradicated much of the disease, poverty and chaos of earlier centuries. Technology had transformed the human mind and body

But perfection demanded a price.

Within the violent disorder of twentieth-century humanity, she discovered something her own world had given away: choice.

DK Sachs We Shouldn't Be Here_Overview_2

For the first time, she could ask the essential question.

Why?

While Seven crossed England in search of answers, Hadleigh and Betts followed the evidence she left behind.

What at first appeared to be a sequence of inexplicable deaths slowly revealed a pattern.

Seaside sweet shops.

Missing children.

Coded ledgers.

Names and addresses scattered across the country.

And in the background, a clandestine organisation whose influence extended far beyond a collection of provincial shopkeepers.

Others had taken an interest in Hadleigh's investigation.

Deep within the British establishment, powerful men knew far more than they would ever admit. Hadleigh's questions brought him dangerously close to shared secrets these very important persons wanted left alone.

Their operatives entered the game.

Ambrose survived the war through talent, instinct and a ruthless determination to live. Handsome, dangerous and unpredictable, he had worked in the shadowy world of British intelligence since 1915. He cared little for causes, institutions or patriotic speeches. Ambrose's principal loyalty was always to Ambrose.

There was one other great love in his life: his magnificent car, a Hispano-Suiza H6.

Then he met Saffron.

Beautiful, audacious and every bit as capable as Ambrose, Saffron demolished several of his assumptions about women within minutes of their first encounter. Their partnership began as an assignment, but the pair soon discovered an exhilarating affinity for danger, deception, fast cars and card games.

Their orders set them on a collision course with Hadleigh and Betts.

“Sort them out,” they said—the orders.

What did ‘Sort them out,’ actually mean? wondered Saffron.

Beautiful, audacious and every bit as capable as Ambrose, Saffron demolished several of his assumptions about women within minutes of their first encounter. Their partnership began as an assignment, but the pair soon discovered an exhilarating affinity for danger, deception, fast cars and games of chance.

Their orders were to intercept and impede Hadleigh and Betts.

The Third Battle of Krythia in June 1915 marked a personal turning point. The objective of the Allied attack was Achi Baba, a vertiginous peak that dominated the Gallipoli Peninsula and served as the central defensive position for Ottoman operations. This was the third consolidated attempt by the Allies to capture the position. The losses on both sides were horrifying. Tens of thousands of young soldiers had already been slaughtered with no gain or strategic benefit. The Ottomans alone lost six thousand troops during the first day's bombardment.

The Man Ray photo portraits came to be after a fun evening at La Rotonde.

"Do you shave your eyebrows, Madame Séverine?" Kiki asked, her eyes sparkled with curiosity. She stood nearly nude, adorned in flimsy strings of hand-painted fabric bananas, mere strands away from total exposure.

Séverine shook her head. "It's in my DNA, Kiki. Hair follicles became redundant."

DK Sachs Something Worth Dying For chapter 8

The Bar Marseillaise was not the sort of establishment one would take a girlfriend or boyfriend. Or any kind of friend. Not if you cared about their well-being. The gentle ambience of friendly, sophisticated wine bars and cocktail lounges would never grace the rough-and-tumble world of sailors, stevedores, and dockers. The Bar Marseillaise was old: a construction of dark, swarthy timbers and plain lime plaster, coloured by time and generations of tobacco smoke. Bottles offering every flavour of alcohol lined the rustic wooden cabinets mounted on walls—a glorious array of bright colours in rainbow shades of ornate glass. Beer taps sprang from the tired countertop in extravagant metal hoops. Inside, the seating consisted of stools and benches.

It is not what France gave you but what it did not take from you that was important.

A line-up of Man Ray photographs greeted visitors to the stylish apartment on Avenue Kléber. Trim as a military parade, the black-lacquer frames lined up in a procession along the wall. The explicit nude images, provocative by design, exuded defiance, primal sensuality, and the Artist’s vision of the moderne. They demanded attention. Jean Toussaint’s eyes fixed on one in particular: a visceral study in black and white.

Audio extracts:

Soho, London - 1924

The world fell silent. An absolute, peaceful silence.

He had gone beyond the squeal of brakes—the stench of burning rubber. The screams, a cacophony of cries and shrieks, a crowd in panic.

He saw it all. He felt the unfathomable pain.

But that was gone. The past. His life.

He opened the door to his office at the Ministry.

A shrill, insistent bell shattered the silence. The green telephone on his desk trembled.

The light distracted him—a beam, so bright. It filled him.

He stepped into the tunnel… He moved faster and faster… Almost there…

He didn’t think it would be like this.

Like what?

Dying.

Audio extracts:

Her client was not as Betts had imagined. The voice on the other end of the telephone was laced with the British upper classes' distinctively clipped tone and phrasing—the type of voice you would expect to hear in a golf clubhouse. Betts anticipated a grand, authoritarian middle-aged matriarch. Instead, Mrs Richie was indisputably young, stylish and attractive.

DK Sachs The Body in Abbey Park_chapter 3

While Betts travelled to Covent Garden, Hadleigh took the tube to Notting Hill. It was a short walk to the West Kensington Police Station and his 10 a.m. appointment with the desk sergeant. Though he had been a police officer himself, a Detective Inspector no less, Hadleigh bristled at the law's rigid inflexibility. It seemed completely nonsensical that he should be held in any way responsible for the deaths of either of the two gunmen. Three innocent victims had died at their hands, including his own brother, yet somehow the Constabulary felt they had a case against him for defending himself. What was he supposed to do? Let the man shoot him? The gunman would have done just that. He was in the act of raising his silenced Beretta. There was no question that his intention was to shoot Hadleigh dead. Yet somehow the authorities considered Hadleigh at fault for being a fraction of a second faster. Where was the justice in that? Nonsense was the only way to describe it. But that was often the nature of officialdom: a blind belief, rigid as a steel girder, in the rules and regulations that govern our daily lives.

"Please be upstanding for His Majesty's Coroner," said the court usher. The assembly stood as one.

"Good morning. My name is Lucien Crockford-Hawley. Sir Lucien. I am His Majesty's Coroner for Westminster, and we are here today to determine the answers to four questions. Who the deceased might be? When and where he died? And by what means he came by his death? Before we commence the proceedings, I believe it important to understand the nature of the coroner's court in relation to today's inquiry. We are not here to allocate blame or apportion guilt. Our responsibility is to ascertain the cause of death within the law. Nothing more, nothing less."

Audio extracts:

She had no sense of how long. Time was unfettered. It might have been an hour, maybe two, or three, but she hadn’t wavered. She stared remorselessly at the ochre bloom that blossomed beneath the wall’s green paint. It felt like eternity and the blink of an eye. Her mind attempted to assemble meaning from the design; circular, but with sugary edges, like some strange confection. It was the detective in her; she never stopped. And when you’re stuck in the same space, in this instance, a hospital bed for a significant length of time—fourteen days and nights undoubtedly qualified as such—it should be time enough to absorb every facet and fixture, every blemish and crack in every wall—the ceiling, too. But no, not when you must lie on your front throughout, with the only option of head left or head right, nothing in between, and under no circumstances can you turn over. Betts twisted her head around; her field of vision shifted to the left.

He parked the car beneath one of the few trees still wearing a canopy of leaves. The foliage hung ragged, like a bad comb-over. The canvas above his head resonated like a marching drum as heavy raindrops pounded out tribal poly-rhythms. He checked his watch: 6:36 p.m. Day had turned to night. Crouch Hall Road was dark as a tomb. Spindly columns of smoke drifted from the chimneys of tall, tidy houses, their windows curtained and shuttered against the damp ink of darkness. His hand touched the steel bulge in his coat pocket. He was ready.

The Shifting Sands of Dammam Dome

Synopsis:

In the relentless heat of 1937 Saudi Arabia, oil remains a distant dream—dark and elusive, a treasure buried deep beneath shifting sands. After four years of drilling at Dammam Dome, tensions run high at the CASOC, the California-Arabian Standard Oil Company, compound. Six wells, a fortune invested, and no significant results. The future of the Kingdom’s oil ambitions hangs in the balance.

Officer Rakan bin Abdulaziz, Commander of External Security, is summoned to the site following the mysterious disappearance of the chief chemist, the individual responsible for a vital report that will determine whether the drilling proceeds. Days later, the chemist’s body is found in the desert, ravaged by vultures.

Officer Rakan is a man seeking peace, perhaps redemption. He finds himself walking a fragile line between tradition, national interests, and international politics. Everyone believes there is oil beneath the sands, and some will kill for it.

Meanwhile, a very different journey unfolds in Karachi. Zayd Wallace, a mixed-race orphan born to a British soldier and a Muslim mother, is raised in England by Methodist missionaries. He serves as a soldier for the British Empire. Highly skilled, loyal, and ruthless, Zayd is chosen for a mission no one else can undertake: the assassination of a Muslim cleric whose fiery sermons challenge colonial authority.

In disguise as a pilgrim, Zayd journeys into the spiritual core of Islam, grappling with the conflicts between faith and identity. He questions everything: his orders, his country, and most importantly, himself. Zayd experiences a spiritual awakening and begins to see Islam not merely as a doctrine but as a living truth.

Officer Rakan, fresh from solving the murder at Dammam Dome, is assigned a new task: to track down the British assassin who has infiltrated the Kingdom in disguise. The two men come from different worlds but are heading for a collision course driven by oil, empire, and religion.
