Flicker - Doyle Andrew David

The title FLICKER was named mainly due to the flickering of the ‘Pathe - Wartime Newsreel’ footage and film presentations that were shown at almost every cinema on a daily basis across the United Kingdom as the great war unfolded. The technical term and explanation would be aimed towards the FLKR indirect acronym which is explained as :- Flicker, Frame or FFV, a method of modifying poor-quality video files into files that can, and do ‘trick’ the human eye into observing a clearer and better image.

With ‘trickery and deception being the main driver for this World War II counter intelligence spy novel, Lt Colonel Kemp Hastings R.A. Chief of Staff Bletchley Park, struggles to makes sense of the predicament he suddenly finds himself wrapped up in. In an attempt to ensure the safety and protection of the Prime Minister Mr Winston Churchill the Staff at Bletchley soon hatch a plan that required a great deal of internal resource to ensure success but finds to their surprise that a higher echelon was already at work.
