"An entertaining modern mystery" - The Mystery Aficionado When the body of Robert Williams is discovered in a shallow grave on a remote South Yorkshire farm, it falls to DCI Malcolm Goode and his team to unravel his puzzling death. But the dead man himself is a mystery—no one seems to know anything about him, and there’s no record of him to be found. The only clue to move the investigation forward is a strange gold coin buried with the corpse. After a call from Scotland Yard reveals the man’s shady history and his connection to a famous crime, characters from his past begin to resurface, each with secrets of their own. As the bodies pile up, can DCI Goode find the killer and, in the process, perhaps change British history forever?
