«Name to a Face» is the mystery and suspense novel by Robert Goddard, published by Corgi in paperback (400 pages, in English).
Tim Harding, a gardener on the Riviera, is asked to buy an antique ring at auction. The piece sank with a ship in the Scilly Isles in 1707 and reappears in 1999 in tragic circumstances. With the ring stolen and a murder, Harding investigates its origin and searches for a young woman he believes he has seen before without knowing her. Those who get close to the truth do not survive.
A read for those seeking mystery and suspense with a historical backdrop that connects the present with an eighteenth-century secret.
Robert Hutchings Goddard was an American physicist, inventor, and engineer credited with creating and building the world's first liquid-fueled rocket, which was successfully launched on March 16, 1926. By 1915 his pioneering work had dramatically improved the efficiency of the solid-fueled rocket, signaling the era of the modern rocket and innovation. He and his team launched 34 rockets between 1926 and 1941, achieving altitudes as high as 2.6 km (1.6 mi) and speeds as fast as 885 km/h (550 mph).
