β¦ Synopsis
Originally published as A Short-lived Ghost.
A ruthless new boss shakes up Arnoldβs 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 thereβs treasure buried in the rolling Northumberland Hills β 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. Heβs got the scent of corruption and heβs on the trail . . .
Until the day he drives his car into a ditch, a stoneβs throw from the dig.
A coincidence? An accident? Or something more sinister?
