About the book
Meet Phineas Fox, The Professional Researcher
Join Phineas Fox as he delves into the chilling mysteries of the past in a thrilling new series.
When Phineas is tasked with researching the infamous violinist Roman Volf for a television documentary, he is faced with conflicting emotions. Volf, hanged for his alleged involvement in the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881, was known for his criminal activities and womanizing ways. Despite his undeniable musical talent, Volf's reputation was tarnished by his scandalous personal life.
However, as Phineas uncovers evidence suggesting Volf may have been wrongly accused of the Tsar's murder, his investigation takes him to the rugged west coast of Ireland. There, a web of mysteries unfolds, spanning from the 19th century to the present day.
Did Roman Volf pay the ultimate price for a crime he did not commit? And what ties him to the reclusive Maxim Volf, now residing in County Galway? As Phineas delves deeper, he unravels a tapestry of secrets lurking beneath the serene facade of the quaint Irish village of Kilcarne.
