A Dark Place Where Everything Goes In two days, Winton Hazlett, a former Lancaster bomber pilot and now a CID Inspector in a small English town, finds himself trying to solve a daring daylight bank robbery and the murder of a young woman he can't identify. The town, which had never seen anything like this before and already upset by the emerging drug culture of the 1960s, is demanding action. It's just the start of a roller coaster ride as Hazlett confronts the real possibility of death at the hands of a former German SS Major, who has plans to bring the Third Reich back to life. Behind it all in the shadows is a mysterious place called The Retreat, where anything goes.
