Death Notes

"Rayne, is launching a new series here, and if future installments are as gripping and intricately plotted as this one, it could have a long run" Introducing professional researcher Phineas Fox in the first of a brand-new series of chilling mysteries. Phineas Fox has mixed feelings when he´s asked to research the infamous 19th-century violinist Roman Volf for a TV documentary. Hanged for his part in the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881, Volf was a notorious criminal and womaniser, whose glittering talent was undermined by his scandalous private life. However, on uncovering evidence which suggests that Volf could not have been involved in the Tsar´s murder, Phin´s investigations lead him to the west coast of Ireland - and a series of intriguing, interlocking mysteries reaching from 1881 to the present day. Was Roman Volf executed for something he didn´t do? And what is his connection with the reclusive Maxim Volf now living in County Galway? Phin´s enquiries will unearth a number of dark secrets which lurk below the surface of the quiet Irish village of Kilcarne.
