Hit & Run

The Hertford Code

The Knights Templar surface in an English market town. Secret tunnels exist, or don't, in the store-room cupboard of a clothes shop. There are rumors of a ghostly vacuum-cleaner, and of the secret origins of the biscuit. It sounds like a James P. Blaylock novel, but actually it's a funny dispatch in The Guardian.

Books Editor Jesse Walker is the author of Rebels on the Air and The United States of Paranoia.
