SOMETHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT

In July 1956 when reports of terrorist atrocities in Cyprus were seldom out of the headlines, the London Daily News finds itself without a correspondent there when their man is almost killed in a car crash.

The deputy editor is bemoaning that fact in a Fleet Street pub when he meets Harry Ledbetter. Harry is just out of university and wants to become a journalist. When he mentions that he speaks Greek it's enough to propel him, notebook in hand, into a world of terrorists, bullets and bombs. Amid hostile jibes from older reporters he trusts his instincts and learns on the job.  A Cypriot colleague, Anna, helps him to set up a hazardous mission which, if successful, will land him a scoop. If it fails he could take a bullet.
