About this audiobook
Arthur Cross spent thirty years in the Norfolk Record Office. He knew every archive, every misfiled box, every deliberate gap in the collection. When he retired, he told his family he was working on a small local history project.
He was not.
When he dies, his granddaughter Nell inherits a journal she cannot read. The cipher hidden in its pages is built around the one thing she ever walked away from: her unfinished PhD on the Templar order, abandoned eleven years ago.
Arthur built the key from her own work. He always believed she'd come back to it.
Now she has to.
The treasure King John supposedly lost on a tidal crossing in 1216 was never lost. It was hidden. It has been guarded ever since. And the people still guarding it know exactly how close Nell is getting.
For fans of Anthony Horowitz and C.J. Sansom, with the warmth of Richard Osman and considerably higher stakes.
