Ian Smith (1963) has just released his first novel: The Man with Two Graves.

Ian played 3 seasons in the School 1st XV and qualified as a dentist. He was the seventh of the eight Heriot full backs to play for Scotland, and was the first Scotland full back to score an international try, and the first full back in the world to score tries in his first two internationals

This is a piece of writing on the Russian Royal Family who were all murdered in a cellar by the Bolsheviks in 1918, and for several years afterwards imposters tried to convince the world they had survived.

Just suppose there was a member of the Romanov family who did not die in the cellar?

He was already dead, as was everyone who knew he existed, but not before he had fathered a son, and this remained a secret for over 90 years.
