False Gold -- Veronica Heley

<p><b><i>When the hunt for buried treasure at Marston Hall leads to murder, it falls on Bea Abbot to dig up the truth in this entertaining mystery. </i></b> <p/>Bea Abbot is visiting her old friend Sir Julian at Marston Hall, but her trip starts badly when she arrives to a scene of chaos. It seems that a group of youths armed with metal detectors broke into the derelict amusement park in the grounds of the Hall and fled when disturbed . . . leaving the body of a middle-aged man behind. The police and Sir Julian's estate manager assume this is a missing security guard, Pete, but Sir Julian has doubts. Is the dead man really Pete, and if not, then where are he and his border collie, Beauty? <p/>With rumours of buried treasure and family curses circulating in the village, and with Sir Julian and Bruno the Alsatian at her side, Bea sets out to find the truth - and catch the killer. <p/><b>Fans of Richard Osman, M.C. Beaton and Agatha Christie will love this page-turning mystery.<br></b></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Veronica Heley<br><b>Publisher:</b> Severn House<br><b>Published:</b> 05/06/2025<br><b>Pages:</b> 224<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781448315574<p></p>
