The international bestselling author of the James Maxted series
delivers a twist-filled thriller of an ancient secret that threatens
to shatter a family. Days Without Number is classic Robert Goddard:
intricately plotted, richly detailed, and suspenseful to the very last
page. Nick Paleologus, a coolly efficient Englishman, is summoned home
to resolve a dispute that threatens to tear his family apart. His
father, Michael, is a retired archaeologist and supposed descendent of
the last Emperors of Byzantium. Michael has received a hugely generous
offer for the family estate in Cornwall, but refuses to sell—and
refuses to divulge why. Soon the stalemate between Nick’s
siblings and their father is tragically broken, and only then do they
discover why their father was bound to protect the house at all costs.
Their desperate efforts to conceal the truth drag them into a deadly
conflict with an unseen and unknown enemy. Soon, Nick realizes the
only chance they have of escaping their persecutor’s trap is to hunt
this ruthless adversary down. But the hunt involves excavating a
terrible secret from their father’s past. And once that secret is
known, nothing will ever be the same again. “The literary
equivalent of a Russian doll puzzle. Secret upon secret is
uncovered . . . Goddard has penned a real Byzantine-inspired head
scratcher of a novel.” —Bookreporter.com
