I just finished "Bequest" by A K Shevchenko. Many reviews describe it as a thriller or political-thriller, to me it was simply a mystery. The story was based on a legend of Cossack gold left in the Bank of England to be claimed when Ukraine was again independent. Curiously enough the parts looking back at events over the 300 year history of the bequest were clear enough, it was the switching back and forth between two or three threads of "now" that at times had me confused.
Overall? It was worth reading, the author obviously put a lot of thought and effort into it, but it was not so good that I will be in a hurry to read it again.
