Legacy Of Blood- Alex Connor

Legacy Of Blood- Alex Connor

(From the Back Cover)
The race is on. The body count is rising. No one can be trusted. The flight to London was supposed to be a short cut home, but for the seven passengers gathered at an art auction it becomes the most terrifying journey they will ever make. An incident on the flight reveals the existence of a priceless artefact - and blows open a conspiracy that has been kept hidden for centuries. Every passenger on the plane is now caught up in a race to find the prize for themselves - but within 24 hours of the flight, three people have been silenced by someone who knows the devastating consequences should the full story ever come to light... Legacy of Blood is the stunning new thriller from the bestselling author of The Rembrandt Secret.

(The past)
William Hogarth is a famous artist who created a masterpiece that is both shameful and dangerous. He paints a painting in 1732, about Frederick, Prince of Wales with his mistress Polly Gunnell. He has been told to visit a crime scene, where he finds Polly's dead and mutilated body. William discovers that the near dead baby lying next to her is the child of the Prince of Wales and Polly Gunnell, now holding the most sacred secret that can cause the royal throne to destabilize. There is another heir to the throne that will become the biggest national secret in history.

(The present)
Centuries later, one man is entrusted to keep the proof of this line of succession hidden, keeping a watchful eye on the Prince's descendant. Being an old-school, honorable man, and art dealer, Sir Oliver Peters fulfills his duty for many years to come, little knowing that one day, his own life would be at risk.

(My opinion)
This is an amazing unputdownable book from beginning to the end. I haven't read such a good murder thriller fiction for a while and this was fantastic. From the first moment I opened the book, I was drawn into the mystery and history that is involved throughout the book. I've never had so much suspense reading a book apart from stumbling across Alex Connor's first art thriller book called 'The Rembrandt Secret'.

I recommend this book for anyone to read, enjoy.
