The Dancing Dodo
The wreckage of World War Two plane The Dancing Dodo is found in remote British marshland.
Inside are the remains of six bodies.
When Wing Commander David Dobson is called in to investigate, he thinks it will just be a routine case, with some dull paperwork to complete.
But things soon start to take a sinister turn when it emerges there is no record of the Dodo having gone missing - and the men apparently identified inside are all still alive.
Dobson teams up with Colonel Bud Hackstead, the American officer in charge of the investigation, yet things only get more baffling.
Just what was Dodo’s original mission?
Why are the bodies it has hidden for so many years not who they say they are?
Why do so many people Dobson and Hackstead talk to end up dead?
When Dobson’s search for answers starts to turn up top secret letters from The Third Reich, he begins to suspect the mystery runs much deeper than he originally suspected...
Is The Dancing Dodo Hitler’s final weapon?
