Описание книги

A man is discovered murdered in a hotel in London and police investigations have difficulty in establishing who committed the crime and are also unable to find a motive.<br /> <br />The investigation is further complicated when it is discovered that the victim is a millionaire businessman and that he has died intestate, has never made a will and apparently has no close family. His lawyers are appointed as administrators of his estate and have the task of trying to trace beneficiaries, but soon discover that the deceased is not who he claimed to be, he has been living and transacting business under a false name for years.<br /> <br />A firm of private investigators is appointed to establish his true identity and to find beneficiaries to his estate, and to find out why he has been living a double life for all those years. Their investigations have to track back to the years prior to the Great War of 1914-18 and to the subsequent conflict of 1939-45 to ascertain who he was, a search that takes them through government departments, through M.I.5 and to country towns in England, to New York and to Australia before they are able to resolve the mystery.<br> <br> First published in 2011 as 'The Man Who Had Five Lives'

Отрывок из книги

John Accrington entered the hotel room and dropped his brief case on the bed. He walked to the window, looked out and then he checked his watch. It had been arranged that the man, known to Accrington as Simon, would be calling upon Accrington at his hotel room. But there was one action that Accrington was determined to do first, he certainly wasn’t going to take anyone on trust and meekly surrender all his cards at one go. He had determined to work on the basis of starting with a very low figure and seeing how things went, he was prepared to negotiate. He had another look at his watch; he had about twenty minutes before the other was due to make contact. He wondered how much Simon knew about him, he had threatened to expose him but how much did he know?

Accrington turned away from the window, picked up his brief case from the bed and made his way to the door. He left his room and walked towards the lift, as he did so he realised that he was really feeling his age as the years caught up with him. His one hip persisted in giving discomfort, this had developed over the last few months or so, maybe he needed a hip replacement. He was also aware that his heart was giving him problems now. Perhaps the incessant fear of discovery over the last fifty years had finally caught up with him, the worry of whether he was being followed, or of being summarily apprehended. These fears had slowly receded with the passing of time, but nevertheless they were always there, and they always would be.

Pelham put down the telephone and looked at Ruddock.

“You know what this is about, Norman?”
