A troubled sleuth.And a devious death.

In a quaint English coastal town, secrets don't stay buried for long...

When Veronica Vale takes an extended break to visit the Green Man pub in Faversham, she refuses to admit she's running from her issues at home. But trouble has a way of finding those who hide.

The body of Edmund Blackwood - respected banker by day, obsessed treasure hunter by night - lies sprawled in her pub's snug, clutching an ancient map.

As Veronica delves into Edmund's death, she uncovers a twisted tale of smuggling secrets, family betrayal, and desperate revenge. All the suspects harbour dark motives, but one killer will stop at nothing to keep the past buried.

In a town built on smuggling fortunes, some would kill to keep their murky secrets safe. And if Veronica keeps poking her nose into those secrets, she might be next.
