Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Tokyo, Japan
Umiko Wada has had enough excitement in life. With an overbearing mother and her husband recently murdered, she just wants to keep her head down. As a secretary to a private detective, her life is pleasantly filled with coffee runs and paperwork.
That is, until her boss takes on a new case. A case that is surrounded by shadows. A case that means Wada will have to leave Tokyo and travel to London.
London, England
Nick Miller never knew his father and was always told he wasn't missing much. But when an old friend of his late mother says there are things that Nick needs to know about his parents, he can't ignore it.
When a chance encounter brings Wada and Nick together, they couldn't know the series of violent events set off by their investigations. And when they discover Nick's father might have been the only witness to a dark secret forever buried, they realise there are some powerful people who will do whatever it takes to keep it that way....

Another great mystery from a master ...
I have listened to every Goddard. This is his latest and I am amazed at some people's reviews.
Well, I thought it was great, a typical English mystery but with a Japanese female hero.
What's there not to like? Terrific well crafted mystery.
Goddard is a master of the mystery of the past unraveling and intersecting similar to Halan Coben's books.
If you haven't read Goddard try Painting the Darkness, Beyond Recall or Past Caring for starters.

Fabulous story, beautifully narrated
A Robert Goddard book never disappoints, and this one is certainly no exception. It is the first of his titles that I have listened to rather than read, and the experience was just as immersive and gripping. The story is fabulous, with lots of twists and turns, the settings--Japan, Iceland, England--are vividly evoked and the dual points of view of main characters Nick Miller and Umiko Wada are perfectly delineated and absolutely believeable. The narration is excellent, beautifully-pitched and richly conveying atmosphere, character and action in a way that never flags. Highly recommended.

Great plot
Complex, twisty & intriguing which makes for a great read. My first Goddard book…loved the ending…enough to now grab the next Wada book!

Very disappointing
I’ve loved all Robert Goddard books and this one is really average. I know I should have hung in there but I just couldn’t. Others might find it a good listen. Well so be it.
