Description
Eldritch Swan's return after 36 years in an Irish prison is a shocking event that sets off a chain reaction. His nephew Stephen is left to pick up the pieces, but Eldritch refuses to reveal any details about his incarceration. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they are drawn into a complex web of family ties and old betrayals. Their investigation begins with an exhibition of Picasso paintings from the prestigious Brownlow collection in London. However, this seemingly innocuous event soon leads them back to the Second World War and the events that led to Eldritch's imprisonment. The subsequent disappearance of modern art from a wealthy diamond dealer's collection in Antwerp sets off a trail of murder and intrigue. As they try to untangle the truth, they are confronted by a mysterious enemy who will stop at nothing to keep the truth hidden. With danger lurking around every corner, Eldritch and Stephen must navigate this treacherous landscape to uncover the secrets that have haunted Eldritch for so long.
