'Deeds Without Name': 'In His Anecdotage' (1 Part) by Matthew Sweet

The Master is publishing his memoirs - You Don’' Know Jackanapes - in which he offers himself as a reformed character and spills secrets from the UNIT years. Talking to veteran investigative journalist Jeannie Keen, she questions him about government cover-ups, and he tells her, out of the blue, that he has seen a UNIT file showing she has a twin sister living in a nursing home in Wexcliffe-on-Sea. Only it's not a nursing home, it's a UNIT safe house.

The Master offers to team up with Jeannie, apparently interested in helping her with the story. But what is the secret of Ashburton Lodge? And what's behind the Master’s most unreliable of memoirs?
