The team’s researches point them in the direction of the city of Odessa and the early 20th century, and the unexpected involvement of two men: the first a very familiar figure from Russian history; the second hailing from Will’s own backyard on Prince Edward Island…Moving between Russia, the Ukraine, London and the Mediterranean, this second instalment of the trilogy that started with The Mendelssohn Connection finds our protagonists Will and Isaac tested as never before. Now that he has so much to lose, Isaac experiences the extremes of joy and despair, while Will, weighed down by ever more responsibility, finds his stolid self- assurance evaporating as he discovers betrayal lurking around every corner.
