FOLLOW MY LEADER HIM? ALIVE AND WELL AND LIVING IN REIGATE IN 1951? SURELY NOT . . . Rowena Furse and Erika von Tirpitz are unlikely friends. Rowena loves gardening and opera - Erika loves gin and men. Despite their differing lifestyles, they have something in common - Mr Morell, an elderly German refugee they have taken under their wing. One afternoon, led astray by Erika, the usually teetotal Mr Morell drinks some gin and, whilst under the influence, makes an astonishing confession. The revelation sparks a chain of bizarre events - mistaken identity, mayhem at Reigate carnival, and even murder. The trail stretches from leafy Surrey to the Canary Islands and back. Is Morell's claim genuine, or is he, in Erika's words, just 'plain bonkers'? Ben Grimshaw, cub reporter on the Surrey Mirror, tries to fathom it all out. But it takes his Fleet Street journalist brother, Storm, to unravel the truth. Ultimately, all roads lead to the old fort on top of Reigate Hill.

John Hughes has also produced and directed films and written screenplays, with Home Alone, The Breakfast Club, Uncle Buck and Ferris Bueller's Day Off to his credit - but that's a different John Hughes.
