I sat at home wondering what to do next and then a remarkable event happened: I decided I would try flesh out my idea of the safe deposit robbery, which I knew would be a key element of the story.I was part of the core team that produced twenty-two series of the controversial car show that became the biggest TV phenomena in the world, with 350 million weekly viewers in 120 countries. I worked extremely closely with TV heavyweights, Jeremy Clarkson and James Corden, high profile comedians, Jack Whitehall, Alan Carr, Tom Allen , Romesh Ranganathan and Micky Flanagan, sports stars turned presenters, Freddie Flintoff, Jamie Redknapp and Ronnie O’Sullivan and TV chefs Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsay and Marco Pierre White.

The Franklins send out their heavies, a crack team of ‘finders’, to recover the missing documents—which expose Hitler and their connection to him—while Vargas and his sidekick, Lieutenant Troy Hembury of the Los Angeles Police Department, hunt the crooks and all the stolen goods, not knowing they are pursuing a ticking time bomb.Chief Inspector Nicolas Vargas of the Buenos Aires Police Department and Lieutenant Troy Hembury of the LAPD are sucked into a dark political conspiracy concealing an incredible historical truth which stretches from Adolf Hitler's infamous Berlin bunker to Buenos Aires and to Washington and which threatens the very heart and soul of American democracy. The conspiracy theory that Hitler never killed himself is one I hadn’t heard before, even though it began straight after his death.

It’s well recorded that in July 1945, just three months after Hitler’s supposed death, Stalin met with Churchill and Roosevelt at the Potsdam Conference in Germany, where he cast doubt on the official story of the Führer ’s death.

In the end, it took the totally unexpected arrival of a pandemic and the first lockdown to turn the idea into a reality. Once each box was opened they emptied them, with US Dollars, Euros, English Pounds and Argentinian Pestos.Detective Chief Inspector Nicolas Vargas of the Buenos Aries Police Department sets out to solve the bank heist that had taken place in Buenos Aires. They wanted me to give it a new home and a new look and I was responsible for turning an old airfield hangar into a TV studio, which had to look different from any other show.

One box alone contained twenty solid gold bars and other boxes were crammed with jewellery, designer watches and hundreds of loose gemstones. Senator John Franklin, hailed as the ‘Great Unifier’, secures the Republican Presidential nomination and seems destined for the Oval Office. But they don’t come much bigger or more controversial, than the apparent suicides of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun in the Führer ’s notorious bunker in war-torn Berlin on 30 th April 1945. Like millions of people, when the virus struck and the world shut down I lost all my work and found myself sitting at home wondering what to do.

Robert Ludlum did it best with "The Holcroft Covenant", as has Robert Harris in his masterpiece "Fatherland".
