Publisher's summary

When forensic genealogist Morton Farrier accepted an invitation to travel to Salt Lake City, Utah, to speak at the RootsTech genealogy conference, he had been unaware that one of his co-panellists was to be none other than his former girlfriend, Madison Scott-Barnhart.

Whilst he prepares anxiously to meet her for what will be the first time in twenty-six years—and hopefully to discover the unresolved truth behind her abrupt ending of their relationship—he takes on the case of researching his wife’s mysterious great-grandfather: a man who deserted his Sussex family shortly after the First World War.

In the course of his investigations and time in the States, Morton uncovers some shocking truths, some of which are uncomfortably close to home…

Loved the merging of the Morton and Venator series!

Nathan never disappoints with his stories-this was a treat because it included Maddie and Rootstech as well as a great cliffhanger. Was especially delighted that Maddie was voiced by Bryn Austin and not Ian Pringle. Mr. Pringle is great except when it comes to American accents…A great listen!!

Yet another riveting tale from NDG!

Loved the international storyline that winds through several surprising twists; the insider’s peek at the (very real) vibrant genealogy community; and the way the author tells historical stories with both attention to the details of the past and the universal themes that connect them to the present.

Thoroughly Enjoyable

Short, but very satisfying, and well worth a credit. As always, Nathan Dylan Goodwin’s books are well written, well performed, and very entertaining. Morton Farrier has become a good friend, and I eagerly await his next adventure.
