«Sight Unseen» is the mystery novel by Robert Goddard, published by Corgi in paperback (416 pages, in English).
In 1981, during a picnic at the prehistoric site of Avebury, a two-year-old girl is kidnapped and her sister dies after being run over. Twenty-three years later, retired inspector George Sharp receives a letter signed «Junius» that pushes him to reopen the case with David Umber, a witness whose account was always doubtful. The investigation unearths secrets both would have preferred to leave hidden.
For mystery and thriller readers who enjoy plots that combine two eras and secrets that return from the past.
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).
