A TIMES, OBSERVER and LITERARY REVIEW BOOK OF THE YEAR: 'Flawless'
SUNDAY TIMES *** 'A rich and fascinating puzzle' MAIL ON SUNDAY ***
'I completely lost myself to this book for a few days' LUCY FOLEY
*** 'A deliciously involving page turner' GUARDIAN Summer, 2021.
Nell has come home at her family's insistence to celebrate an
anniversary. Fifty years ago, her father wrote The Golden Bones.
Part picture book, part treasure hunt, Sir Frank Churcher created a
fairy story about Elinore, a murdered woman whose skeleton was
scattered all over England. Clues and puzzles in the pages of The
Golden Bones led readers to seven sites where jewels were buried:
one by one, the tiny golden bones were dug up until only Elinore's
pelvis remained hidden. The book was a sensation. A community of
treasure hunters called the Bonehunters formed, in frenzied
competition, obsessed to a dangerous, murderous degree. The book
made Frank a rich man. Stalked by fans who could not tell fantasy
from reality, his daughter, Nell, became a recluse. But now the
Churchers must be reunited. The book is being reissued along with a
new treasure hunt and a documentary crew are charting everything
that follows. Nell is appalled, and terrified. During the filming,
Frank finally reveals the whereabouts of the missing golden bone.
And then all hell breaks loose. Inspired by the author's love for
Masquerade, this is a taut, mesmerising novel of danger and
obsession. 'The ultimate entertaining thriller' EVENING STANDARD
