Used book – L'Énigme des Foster, Robert Goddard

1968. In St Austell, a small coastal town in Cornwall, Jonathan Kellaway takes a summer job at Walter Wren & Co. There, he meets the founder's two grandchildren, Oliver and Vivien Foster. A bond forms between the three young people, and Jonathan is soon considered a member of the family.

2010. After a long career at the Foster company, Jonathan is tasked with finding files that have mysteriously disappeared from the archives. Family secrets, betrayals, suspicious deaths...: his investigation disturbs powerful interests. Determined to shed light on this story, Jonathan soon has to confront his own past, and all the unspoken things that have punctuated his life. And it is undoubtedly there that the greatest danger lies for him.

This story of multiple twists and turns is an opportunity for Robert Goddard to make the most of his storytelling talent. Thierry Coljon, Le Soir.
