Behind the Wall
Four corpses discovered in a London basement release a trail of suspicion and expectation. But the wall of the basement is not the only barrier to unsolved mysteries as Frieda Schoenhofer’s circus in Luxembourg contains a deadly secret of its own and Rob Wallet’s old house becomes the centre of attention and throws the most telling suspicion yet on his motives for bringing Toten Herzen back from the dead.

BOOK 9
Come the Day of Revelation
Suspicions surround the disappearance of Rob Wallet, and old rumours of an audacious hoax take on a life of their own. Competing biogrophies of Toten Herzen do nothing to clarify who they really are and the one man with the answers (and a lot of other peoples’ secrets) must decide whether it’s time to explain his true motives.
