Robert Goddard is the master of complex plots with lots of twists and turns, surprise endings and plenty of interesting history mixed in. This book takes us to England, Ireland and Belgium. The chapters switch back and forth from 1940 to 1976. Eldritch Swan was in an Irish prison for 36 years and his nephew, Stephen Swan, has been asked to help Eldritch repair the wrongs from the past which include forged Picassos, IRA terrorists and lots of secrets. It's a tale of revenge, redemption and justice which keeps you riveted and pages flying until the very end. I am now looking forward to reading the rest of my Goddard books, as he is one of my favorite writers. I would highly recommend his books to those who love well-written mystery books with lots of intrigue.
