Stephen Neale has just been released from an asylum during World War II in England when he accidentally stumbles onto a deadly Nazi spy plot and tries to stop it.

Stephen Neale is released into WWII England after two years in an asylum, but it doesn't seem so sane outside either. On his way back to London to rejoin civilization, he stumbles across a murderous spy ring and wants to stop it, but doesn't quite know what to do.—Ken Yousten <[email protected]>

During World War II Stephen Neale is released into society after spending two years in a mental hospital. Before heading to London, he stops at the village fête, where he wins a large cake. It's clear that something valuable was in the cake as it is forcibly taken from him on the train. He's certain that something, perhaps a crime, occurred and begins an investigation. He comes to believe that a Nazi spy ring could be at work, but has difficulty getting anyone to believe him.—garykmcd
