Fuller's End: Atmospheric WWII home-front suspense set in rural England

By A J HAWKES

FULLER'S END is a gripping work of World War II historical fiction inspired by echoes of Rudolf Hess's infamous peace mission, transposed to a quiet English village where loyalty, fear, and conscience collide.

Early in the war, Hans Breitel, an injured Luftwaffe officer acting without orders, parachutes into rural England seeking a secret audience to broker peace. Dragged across a field by his chute and discovered by a villager from Fuller's End, he insists on being escorted to the influential Sir Giles Wicker. But no one has heard of Wicker or the town he names as his residence. With the village constable outmatched and a senior diplomat evasive, rumour and suspicion take hold.

As Breitel is sheltered, questioned, recaptured, and judged in kitchens and farmyards, the villagers wrestle with what justice looks like in wartime: is he a spy, a deserter, or a messenger who could end the bloodshed? When tempers flare and brutal choices follow, Fuller's End must decide whether mercy is courage or betrayal.

Atmospheric, character-driven, and rich with suspense, this novel captures the tension of the British home front. From the first page to an unforgettable conclusion, FULLER'S END stands out as a compelling and thought-provoking addition to World War II fiction.
