The body was found lying face downwards in the top floor flat of number 7 Bolsover Square, Westminster. Killed by a glancing blow from a wood chopper which struck the nape of the neck and severed the main artery. What linked this gruesome murder with Sir Roger Wing who had been dining in the flat below with his publisher friend Christopher Penistone?
The aristocratic Wing family had for centuries resided at the Mallowes, a remote country house perched above a beach on the West Sussex coast. Was the arrival at the Mallowes of an anonymous letter for Sir Roger that same day just a coincidence? And what could this have to do with the looting of precious gems from the Medici family tomb in Florence in 1818 by Sir Roger’s great-grandfather?
