BOOK BLURB:In Antwerp in 1939, a Jewish diamond trader flees Nazi Europe, leaving his priceless collection of Picasso paintings and diamonds with a friend who takes them to London. The boat he flees on sinks, leaving no survivors. Fast forward to 1976 when his penniless family tries to track down the missing paintings. A classic thriller with Goddard's trademark plot twists.
REVIEW:
Robert Goddard always guarantee’s a great read and in this, his latest thriller we get a tale told from two different times from the 1940’s to the modern day it grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go until the final page it turned. Captivating, beautiful prose with a great descriptiveness it’s a tale that always makes me evaluate which of Robert’s books are my favourite as with each new offering he seems to improve. A definite must read and if further evidence is needed a title that’s been swiped by my Granddad.
