Unfortunately, so too do Dangerous Dan Magruder and Black Jack Johansen, the nastiest pair of villains ever to twirl a moustache. 2 The Policeman’s Ball The policeman’s Other Ball There are two sides to every story, especially this one, set in the rough tough goldfields of South Africa. 3 The Secret Society You had better watch out. Better beware Eugene and his Dominators are hiding everywhere. 4 The Rivals Spencer Harris and Ginger play the Greatest Game of Golf in the history of the world.

Leave it to the ‘Boffins’ they will find a way through. 7 The King of the Cannibal Isles Captain Jonah gets Shipwrecked during The Great South Sea Typhoon, just like that chap in the books, Robert Caruso. 8 The Legions Lost Patrol The Major, also known as the Enforcer of the French Foreign Legion, is caught up in a desperate adventure of Daring Do and Daring Don’t. Can he really trust the patrol, who just happen to be the hardest nuts in the entire Legion Etranger? 9 The Great Escapade Jumbo Fowler and Tommy Gunn, top guns of R.A.F. Bomber Command, are locked up in the dreaded escape-proof Castle Coldbitz, but they are determined to escape. Trust them to come up with the most outrageous escape attempt of WWII. 10 Be Careful What You Wish For If you had a talisman which made your wishes come true, just exactly what would YOU wish for? Well, all Lucky Lawson can say is, ‘just be very careful.’ Formats Book Details The Lyre Club had stood for ninety years. Its musical connections had long since faded into history as had many of its elderly members. Of course some wag had re-christened it the Liars Club, due to the tradition of telling stories every Friday night. Most of these stories were based in fact, but over the years they had tended to become increasingly outrageous as members vied with each other to get away with the tallest or funniest anecdotes. So join the members and listen to tales of adventure, romance, war , crime, horror and just plain wishful thinking. Twenty four stories guaranteed to make you laugh, and maybe even cry. Walter Beaney was born in Ipswich in 1945, those cold post-war days when everything was still black and white. And people were still called names like Walter. Following successful careers in the army and industry, he retired early to pursue his love of writing. As well as numerous short story publications, he has had six of his stories produced as plays on radio. This is his first full length book, which looks back to a Britain which has all but disappeared now. His wicked sense of humour shines through every page, making this a very entertaining read.
