Crooked Adam
By D E Stevenson
1940 finds Adam Southey in a mood of bitter resentment: he can’t enlist in the war because he is lame.
But at the school where he is teaching, the headmaster, Sam Cooke, is a brilliant scientist. And Adam suddenly finds that the battleground is not the only place to fight a war — for Dr. Cooke has developed a secret weapon, and enemy agents are after the plans.
Adam and the doctor move to an engineering works in Scotland to build a working model. Here, in the wild beauty of the Highlands, Adam is drawn into a desperate game of cat and mouse with the enemy. He also meets Brenda, who is young and beautiful and in terrible danger…
