Twigg/Cullum
The series seeking heirs to unclaimed estates reveals the story of a man who called himself a baron. Another search delves into the world of transatlantic voyages.
More tales of mystery and imagination from the series dedicated to hunting out the rightful heirs to unclaimed estates.
When bachelor Alan Twigg died aged just 68, he left behind a property and savings worth more than 拢500,000. Finding his heirs proves a real challenge until a vital clue leads the team at Fraser and Fraser into the glamorous world of transatlantic sea voyages and the luxurious liner Queen Elizabeth. But then the last-minute discovery of a secret threatens to scupper all their hard work.
When Baron Carl Franz Eduard Von Eudeni died in 1994, he left an estate worth in excess of 拢200,000 but no family and no clues about his life. Initially, Hoopers' investigation focuses on Austria, but in a wholly unexpected twist it is soon revealed that the 'baron' was born the son of a street entertainer and grew up in the far-from-aristocratic surroundings of Shoreditch.
As the investigation gathers pace, more startling revelations come to light, including the baron's real name, his colourful career as a 1950s holiday camp entertainer, his brush with a life-threatening illness, the source of his extraordinary talents and why he created multiple personalities.
