In the days and weeks ahead, the quest Max embarked on in Paris will reach its dizzying end at Tomura’s cas- tle in the mountains of Honshu - and the full truth of what occurred years before will final- ly be laid bare. Goddard is an English novel- ist. His first book was “Past Caring,” published in 1986, and he has written 25 more novels since then. He was awarded the Edgar Award for “Long Time Coming” in 2011. Goddard’s thrillers, spy nov- els, and mysteries are fast paced, well plotted, and cover history from the 18th to the 21st centu- ry. Goddard describes why he writes the kinds of books he writes. “Tightly plotted mystery thrillers suited my writing per- sonality from the first. I’m sure a light romantic comedy in my hands would soon take a turn for the dark and devious.

The previous two titles were “The Ways of the World” and “The Corners of the Globe.” The books take place in 1919 and start at the Paris Peace Conference after the end of World War I. James “Max” Maxted is the son of Sir Henry Maxted, who is a member of the diplomatic delegation at the conference. In the first book, Sir Henry is found murdered and Max resolves to find out how and why his father died. In the sec- ond book, Max goes undercover in the German secret service to locate a missing document, in an attempt to discover more about his father’s activities. The mis- sion seemingly ends in failure and Max’s death. In “The Ends of the Earth,” the final book, the trail Max uncovered leads to Japan and a mysterious prisoner held by Sir Henry Maxted’s old enemy, Count Tomura. Unaware of Max’s fate, the team he has recruited to finish the job are already in Japan, where their paths cross that of Podiatric Physicians & Surgeons From routine checkups to treatments for surgery, Eugene Foot and Ankle Health Center is equipped to handle all your podiatric needs.
