More tales of mystery and imagination from the series dedicated to hunting out the rightful heirs to unclaimed estates. When bachelor Alan Twigg died aged just 68 he left behind a property and savings worth more than half a million pounds. But finding his heirs proves a real challenge until a vital clue leads the team at Fraser and Fraser into the glamorous world of transatlantic sea voyages and the luxurious liner Queen Elizabeth. But could the last-minute discovery of a secret will scupper all their hard work? When Baron Carl Franz Eduard Von Eudeni died in 1994 he left an estate of 200,000 pounds but no family and no clues as to his former life. Initially the Hoopers investigation focuses on Austria, but in a wholly unexpected twist, it's soon revealed that the 'Baron' was actually born the son of a street entertainer and grew up in the far-from-aristocratic surroundings of Shoreditch. As the investigation gathers pace, more startling revelations come to light, including the 'Baron's' real name, his colourful career as a 1950s holiday camp entertainer, his brush with a life-threatening illness and the real reason behind his extraordinary talents and need to create multiple personalities.
