It begins with an innocent request ...
One unremarkable winter morning,civil servant Richard Eusden is on his way to work in London when he is intercepted by his ex-wife,Gemma.She has sad news of his old friend,her other ex-husband,Marty Hewiston.
Marty is dying,but needs one last favour done for him - now,today,at once.
Eusden reluctantly agrees.But what should be a simple errand soon turns into a race for life - his and Marty's.It takes him across Belgium, Germany and Denmark and on into the Nordic heart of a mystery that somehow connects Marty's long-dead grandfather,Clem Hewiston,an Isle of Wight
police officer,with the tragic fate of the
Russian Royal family,murdered ninety years
earlier.
To his dismay,Eusden discovers that he can trust no one,not even his old,dying friend,in his battle with those who are determined to steal the secret they believe he and Marty hold, and who will kill for it if they have to.Every move Eusden makes threatens to be a step closer to disaster.But move he must if he is to escape the clutches of history.It is his only hope ...
From it's opening page to its dramatic conclusion,'Found Wanting' is Robert Goddard at his spellbinding best.
