Charlie Pritchard looks back and tells the story of a perfect bank robbery which he had planned meticulously forty years ago, together with the proprietors of the Rainbow Cafe. It was the best way to escape his mundane life in a small Welsh seaside town as a poorly paid clerk in Cadwallader's bank. He wanted to gain a triumph over his colleagues, and he wanted to live with the beautiful Delphine. He knew that this was his only chance for them to start a new life - with the stolen money.

Praise for R F Delderfield: 'Mr Delderfield's manner is easy, modest, heartwarming' -- Evening Standard 'R F Delderfield is a born storyteller' -- Sunday Mirror 'Sheer, wonderful storytelling' -- Chicago Tribune 'It is always a pleasure to read R F Delderfield, because he never seems to be ashamed of writing well ... Today he is a bestseller wherever English language books are read' -- Books and Bookmen 'Highly recommended. Combines tension with a splendid sense of atmosphere and vivid characterisation. An excellent read' -- Sunday Express 'He built an imposing artistic social history that promises to join those of his great forebears in the long, noble line of the English novel.
