Steph and Ian had no idea how they got there, all, they can remember was a storm, one of many that had occurred during that strange summer, after following diversions because of flooded roads the next thing they knew they were in a strange place being picked up by a mini bus, thank full that the storm had stopped and they were now safe, it was only a short journey from Newport to Caldicot, they had only gone that way so they could turn around in the layby as the road was flooded, but then the place appeared to change and the layby had gone, the fields had gone, all they had seen were trees.

No one had told them anything and the young couple was starting to feel scared as they were told to sit in the pub and Wait, they knew of Underwood, they had never been there, they knew it was a council estate and that was about all they did know, but it was nothing like they ever imagined, they felt like trespassers waiting to be processed, they were both given a drink and a sandwich, but the people did not seem friendly, there seemed to be a fear in their eyes and the barman looked nervous, it felt like a ghost town.

The only normal people that appeared to be in the place was two elderly ladies sat in the corner, sharing a bottle of red, they were laughing and joking over something.

As they sat drinking and eating their sandwich, they heard a voice behind them, they both turned around and saw the biggest man they had ever seen in a uniform, it did not look like a British police uniform and the man was carrying a gun, his voice was deep when he spoke.

‘Hello my names Tony Griffiths and I’m the sheriff of Underwood.

If you really enjoyed this book, please review it from where you purchased it, this can help the author considerably.

The names in this book are made up characters and bear no resemblance to real people.

But Underwood is real, a place I lived for 40 years, I hope the good Underwood I tried to portray in the book is a fair reflection of the place I love.

The two elderly wino’s in this book are based on two lovely sisters, Sue and June, I’m sorry for portraying you the way I did, but I know you won’t sue.
