En 'Found Wanting', Richard Eusden se ve envuelto en una carrera contrarreloj que lo lleva desde Londres hasta el corazón de un misterio histórico en el norte de Europa. Su ex esposa, Gemma, lo intercepta con noticias sobre su amigo en común, Marty Hewitson, quien está muriendo y necesita un favor urgente. A medida que Richard acepta ayudar, se adentra en una trama que conecta a Clem Hewitson, el abuelo de Marty, con el trágico destino de la familia real rusa. En esta búsqueda de la verdad, Richard descubre que no puede confiar en nadie, ni siquiera en sus amigos más cercanos, mientras lucha por sobrevivir y desentrañar un secreto por el que muchos están dispuestos a matar.

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).
