He won't reveal any of the details of his incarceration, insisting only that he is innocent of any crime. His return should be of interest to no-one.

The subsequent disappearance of those paintings began a trail of murder & intrigue which was to have a catastrophic effect on Eldritch's life. But untangling the web of murky secrets, family ties & old betrayals that conceals the truth will prove to be a dangerous pursuit for Eldritch & Stephen. Before long, a mysterious enemy is doing everything possible to stop the truth emerging
