The book is told more or less through Zet's eyes, both first and third person, which does take a little bit of getting used to. He's the son of a miner and an artist, named after the great Czech runner Emil Zatopek. And it's not going to be easy when he discovers that Smit wasn't all he seemed and that his life only appeared to start in 1983. Oh, and to add some spice to the unwanted task, Zet has just seven days to get results. The contents of his safe are missing, and unless Zet, as he's known, can track down the will, Wilna will get nothing. But he's found dead in their house in grim circumstances - he's been burned with a blowtorch and then shot once in the back of the head. Wilna van As has lived with antiques dealer Jan Smit for 11 years. And he's not overjoyed to be roused from his self-pity by lawyer Hope Beneke, who wants him to do some investigating on behalf of a client. Former cop Zatopek van Heerden looks like he's reached rock-bottom.
