‘Steve Robinson’s books just keep getting better. Robinson made that era come to life.’ —Cathy Cole, Kittling Books'For me, this was more than a crime mystery novel; it was a piece of fiction every bit as good as Ian McEwan’s Atonement.’ —George Hamilton, author'Family historians who enjoy crime thrillers will find this yet another gripping read, bringing an exciting edge to the research skills we are familiar with. A gripping return for genealogist/detective Jefferson Tayte.’ —Your Family Tree magazine. What I found exceptionally well done was Mena’s story
