Winter's Bullet (2014)
“He had to show his Gestapo warrant disc and letter four times to get through the checkpoints that ringed the inner city, but finally he located it in a side street, its metal shutters pulled firmly down and padlocked. The front door was also locked. He banged on it with his fist and pulled the bell stop, but no one came.
Tygo set to work and quickly picked the mortice, but he still couldn’t get the door open. The proprietor had lodged a metal bar into the floor and set it against the inside... of the door. You would need a sledgehammer to take out the hinges if you wanted to get in that way.
Tygo stepped back and took stock. It was a two-storey building, like his family’s shop, probably with accommodation on the upper floor. It had the traditional crow-stepped gable on the front. Tygo knew he had only one option left: climb on to the roof and hope there was a skylight to get in through.
The cast-iron drainpipe was agonizingly cold on his hands as he pulled himself up the side of the building.MoreLess
