A paternity and corruption scandal buried by the secretive House of Lords is exposed with the latest DNA research. Downton Abbey this is not, it's the real history of the British aristocracy. A true story of forbidden 'love' between a domestic nurse and the dashing Lord Hobart in 1928 in a society divided by the class system. Set in America, Australia and England, the book lifts the lid on the tragic tale of a young boy born to a working class mother in domestic service and a ruthless Peer of the Realm who eventually destroyed himself in a haze of gambling, alcoholism and loose morality, encompassed by the odour of criminality. But to the end he was protected by the Eton Mafia who run Britain with an iron fist. The story of their secret affair was buried for 79-years until the advent of DNA testing led the 8th Earl of Buckinghamshire's illegitimate son on a determined quest to uncover the truth about his concealed ancestry. He discovered a carefully woven nest of lies, bribery and betrayal designed to stop him from ever exposing the truth about his past.
