DISCOVER ONE OF THE MOST GRIPPING THRILLERS OF ALL TIME, FROM MASTER STORYTELLER ROBERT GODDARD.
Out of the blue, unemployed, down-on-his-luck historian Martin Radford is given a second chance. Martin is shown the leather-bound journal of another ruined man, former British cabinet minister Edwin Strafford.
Martin is offered a job - to investigate the rise and fall of Strafford, an ambitious young politician whose downfall, in 1910, is as mysterious as the strange deaths that still haunt his family.
