A ruthless new boss shakes up Arnold’s quiet life at the council.
From the moment Karen Stannard comes striding in the door, Arnold Landon knows his workplace will never be the same.
Now, he is saddled with a project he never wanted: the Ridgeway Viking Trust. Its shady leaders tell him there’s treasure buried in the rolling Northumberland Hills—they just need one more payout to reach it.
But is there more to the Trust than meets the eye?
Muck-raking journalist Alan Crickley seems to think so. He’s got the scent of corruption and he’s on the trail …
Until the day he drives his car into a ditch, a stone’s throw from the dig.
A coincidence? An accident? Or something more sinister?
