In the aftermath of an attempt on his life, as well as the recent allegations that he's not actually the son of vanished novelist Wilson Taylor, Tom wants to find the truth. His attempts to locate the enigmatic Lizzie Hexam hit a dead end, prompting him to visit his father's mistress... someone he hasn't had a good relationship with. She recommends that he speak to his father's old housekeeper who should have some of his documents from the early period of his life.
But Tom's journey is being managed by someone else. A mysterious group is trying to strip the world of it's belief that Tom Taylor is, in fact, Tommy Taylor... the protagonist from Wilson Taylor's novels.
And back in London, Wilson Taylor's editors have just received a new manuscript.
