Blood is going to be its theme ... Blood in its metaphysical sense as the conductor of an inherited title and blood as the transmitter of hereditary disease. Genes, we'd say now, but not in the nineteenth century when Henry Nanther was born and grew up and achieved a kind of greatness, not then. It was blood then.

The First Lord Nanther clearly hoped to be the subject of an admiring posthumous biography. Having built a name for himself as Queen Victoria's favoured physician?expert on blood diseases and particularly the royal disease of haemophilia?he fastidiously set about recording the details of his eminent life, carefully cataloguing every significant letter, diary and medical essay that he'd written. But when the present Lord Nanther begins to research the life of his great-grandfather, he soon realises there is little of interest in his ancestor's dry-as-dust account. Indeed, he begins to suspect that these old records conceal more than they reveal. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers b0566d56-c6f4-4dbc-8526-4407955fa6d5
