GODDARD, ROBERT
Richard Eusden is on his way to work in London one unremarkable winter morning when he is intercepted by his exwife, Gemma. She has sad news of his old friend, her other exhusband, Marty Hewitson. Marty is dying, but needs a favour done for him now, today, at once. Eusden reluctantly agrees and sets off on what should be a simple errand. But, soon it turns into a race for life, his and Marty`s, across Belgium, Germany and Denmark and on into the Nordic heart of a mystery that somehow connects Marty`s long dead grandfather, Clem Hewitson, an Isle of Wight police officer, with the tragic fate of the Russian Royal Family
