Francis Alexander Gonville Grey was born in the North East of England during the 1950s. Life was very austere in post-war Britain and his time spent as a boy was not made any easier by having a father, a ships steward, that gambled away and drank away most of his earnings. When his father died suddenly, and unexpectedly Francis was mentored by his paternal grandparents, who owned and operated several business.With the help of Francis's mother, his grandparents encouraged him to study hard at school and Violet, his grandmother, taught him everything he needed to know to be successful commercially. He quickly became very fond of his grandmother and was shocked to learn as he grew older that the businesses she operated were not what they appeared to be. Francis married Sarah, the beautiful daughter of the local newspaper editor and when he was given the opportunity to start his own business, Sarah was instrumental in ensuring its success.Death was never far away from the Grey family, and Francis was no stranger to it, sudden death seemed to follow him around. Could it just be coincidence? His grandfather also held a very dark secret which he thought he had kept hidden from his family. He was not the only one to have one.
