Produktbeschreibung
Orlando's Quest Orland Porthtowan is a Cornishman who has seen it all, a "beentheredonethat" sort of person. He is lovable, knowledgeable, and a great raconteur. Although retired for some years he still runs a small market stall where he buys and sells old documents, ephemera and other peoples curiosities. Then along comes the one item he can't resist, it is a small bundle of letters written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, his lifelong hero. Upon closer inspection he spots something in the correspondence which could just be the end of a mysterious thread. If he were to tug on that end, it might just start to unravel itself into a real life, modern day Sherlock Holmes mystery. Unsure, he enlists the help of two historian friends, Adam and Jo Waterbrook. They might well be the two people crazy enough to join him on his adventure. Or are they just being polite and keeping him company on what may prove to be an old man's wild goose chase. Follow Orlando on his Quest to solve a mystery which may be hidden in plain sight. This is book four, the final book in the series "The Trust." Each book is a stand-alone novel, set during different time periods. You do not need to have read the other books in the series but doing so will enhance your experience.
