Remains to Be Seen

Bernard Davis is having a bad day. First he finds a body in the back seat of his Aston Martin, now a telegram announcing his father's death...a man who for the first fifty years had posed as a provincial undertaker in the English town of Scunthorpe. A man who was really Prince Vladimir Ilich Davydov, a boyar who had escaped the Bolsheviks with his own share of Holy Mother Russia; a seemingly inexhaustible fortune in precious stones. And for Bernard Davis, long responsible for converting these riches into pounds sterling, there was more in store.
