Sinopsis

A newlywed couple buys a second-hand apartment. In the storage room there are belongings of the owner, who died ten years ago, and the intermediary of the sale (a friend of the current owner) tells them that once they buy the apartment, they can get rid of those effects. Before closing the deal, she gives them a succulent discount with only one condition: they will have to keep the trunk with three locks that is in the storage room until the owner (who lives in a nursing home) dies.

    "The Last Pilgrim" concludes the Rake's Progress Trilogy with a masterful exploration of redemption, family, and adaptation in a rapidly changing world. 
    When Jack Drummond's ex-wife orchestrates his arrest through Interpol, his carefully constructed world begins to crumble. His imprisonment in Belmarsh threatens not just his business empire but his most precious relationship – with his children. Released but blacklisted by London's financial establishment, Jack must rebuild from nothing while protecting his son Tristan from his mother's destructive influence and supporting his daughter Alice's humanitarian ambitions. 
    The story spans a transformative decade, from the early promise of cryptocurrency to the rise of artificial intelligence and the stark realities of war in Ukraine. Through these sweeping changes, Jack navigates the complexities of fatherhood, love, and survival. His relationship with Svetlana, a Ukrainian woman whose family becomes caught in the war, adds depth to his journey of personal growth. 
    Stuart-Douglas draws on his intimate knowledge of both old and new money to craft a narrative that seamlessly moves from the hunting fields of Wiltshire to the beach clubs of Tulum, from London boardrooms to war-torn Bucha. The author brings authenticity to every scene, whether describing international finance, English country traditions, or the brutal realities of modern warfare. 
    "The Last Pilgrim" is ultimately about transformation – personal, professional, and societal. It explores finding hope in destruction's aftermath, love in loss's shadow, and purpose in uncertainty. Stuart-Douglas has created a compelling finale that bridges high finance, family drama, and international politics, offering both entertainment and thoughtful examination of how we navigate change in an increasingly complex world.

    My name is Amelia Gray, and I’m a cemetery restorer who lives with the dead. An anonymous donor has hired me to restore Woodbine Cemetery, a place where the rich and powerful bury their secrets. Forty years ago, a child disappeared without a trace and now her ghost has awakened, demanding that I uncover the truth about her death. Only I know that she was murdered. Only I can bring her killer to justice. But the clues that I follow—a haunting melody and an unnamed baby’s grave—lead me to a series of disturbing suspects. 
     
    For generations, The Devlins have been members of Charleston’s elite. John Devlin once turned his back on the expectations that came with his birthright, but now he has seemingly accepted his rightful place. His family’s secrets make him a questionable ally. When my investigation brings me to the gates of his family’s palatial home, I have to wonder if he is about to become my mortal enemy.
