Thirty-five mysteries. One family secret. A conspiracy that spans the world.
Edinburgh, 1893.
Three years after their father's mysterious death shattered the Blackwood fortune, twins Isla and Duncan Blackwood are barely keeping their crumbling townhouse-and their family name-alive.
When a corpse is discovered inside a sealed alley with no possible killer, the siblings are pulled into a case that should be impossible. But solving it uncovers something far more dangerous: a trail leading straight back to their father's forgotten shipping empire.
Every mystery reveals another secret.
A vanished lighthouse keeper.
A deadly séance.
Forged manifests. Missing heirs. Poisoned whisky. Hidden ledgers. Smugglers, diplomats, assassins, and thieves stretching from the misty Scottish Highlands to Cairo, Bombay, Istanbul, Venice, Paris, Shanghai, New York, and Cape Town.
As enemies close in, the twins discover that Alistair Blackwood was far more than a wealthy shipping magnate. He left behind coded messages, dangerous allies... and a truth powerful enough to ignite an international scandal.
Someone spent years ensuring that truth stayed buried.
Now they're hunting the twins.
To solve thirty-five impossible mysteries, Isla and Duncan must answer the greatest one of all-
Who was their father... and did he really die?
