Drawn deep into a web of crime and deception, Nathaniel Gye has to face some difficult questions.In this dark and fast-paced mystery, long-time or first-time fans of acclaimed writer Derek Wilson will enjoy pitting their wits against the unscrupulous manipulation of the living and the dead.Wilson, Derek is the author of 'The Nature of Rare Things', published 2005 under ISBN 9780786275816 and ISBN 0786275812.
