London Airport, London, England, March 1948 As Charlie steers through the London traffic Madeline leafs through the various police reports to try and identify any gaps or anomalies, and the most obvious thing that she finds is that by any measurement the reports are light on detail. The information about Teddy Machin’s involvement in the planned robbery was very detailed as well as the detailed plans for the for the Flying Squads operation to counter the raid.

The team consist of Alfie Baldrick, the one man rifle section; Mademoiselle Mimi Dubois, mistress of skills; Miss Madeline Forsyth, the living shadow; and Sven Hyse, the Norwegian shapeshifter.

And so MI6s Enhanced Team disappeared, and their influence on World War II was locked away in official secrets. I didn’t hear from any of the team again. That was until February 1948, six years after that fateful train journey. My commanding officer at the SDECE called me into his office, and with a look of disgust handed me my new orders. I stared at the piece of paper, shocked at what it said; Report to Major Sawdon. Hanslope Park. With immediate effect. Those were the last lines of ‘ Memories of a Mockingbird ’ written by the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Michelle Wein. And now Mimi Dubois is back in 'M emoirs of a Mockingbird' taking us from the devastation of World War II into the shadowy world of the 'enhanced' involvement during the Cold War.
