Publisher Description

Robert Goddard has been called "the master of the clever twist" by the Sunday Telegraph. In 1707, the HMS Association was lost with no survivors. Thirty years later, an admiralty clerk is tasked with a secret mission. And 200 years after that in 1996, a dive results in a fatal accident. Ten years later, an expatriate is called home to identify a woman he only vaguely recognizes. These seemingly disconnected events come together to form a trail of deceit, murder, and greed.

"I've read lots of Robert Goddard's books and thoroughly enjoyed them - I like the way the writes about his characters and the way the mystery unfolds. So I started this with high expectations. It was OK - but there was something slightly unsatisfactory about it. I can't put my finger on what it was but it's not my favourite book of his."

    " Whilst I really enjoyed this book, it was a little predictable. It started perfectly with lots of twists but became a little bland towards the end. "

    " Perhaps not up to Goddard's usual standard and the characters were not very likeable but still an enjoyable (and as always, intricate and well plotted) read. "

    " The first 3/4 of the book was pretty much entirely dialogue, and since it is a British book, all of the names and events after a while got confusing, and things happened very slowly, but it did pick up toward the end with some twists and stuff that were pretty cool. "

    " Liked the old men characters, so it wasn't your typical young thing fighting his way of of bad situations. Would have been better with more details about what happened to them 50 years ago. "

    " I could not agree more with the last comment. I have loved Goddard's books but have been finding them more and more predictable. This is the worst yet. Come on Robert you are more than worthy of this lame effort. "

    " Since I haven't read Goddard for awhile, this was a fun mystery that was hard to put down. The writing is good,the twists and turns surprising and the ending satisfying. Great for a light-hearted escape; forgettable once completed. "

    " Loads of twists and turns, a huge cast of names, historical authenticity ... all the usual hallmarks of a Goddard novel. But this one didn't grip me. My obsession with finishing what I start kept me reading but I think I need a break from this author! "
