Krátky popis
A reunion leads to tragedy, and the unravelling of dark family
secrets . . . It is the summer of 2021 and Nell has come home at
her family's insistence to celebrate an anniversary. Her father,
Sir Frank Churcher, is regarded as a cult figure by many. Fifty
years ago he wrote The Golden Bones. Part picture book, part
treasure hunt, it was 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 - gold and precious stones, each a different
part of a skeleton. 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 degree.
People sold their homes to travel to England and search for
Elinore. Marriages broke down as the quest consumed people. A man
died. The book made Frank a rich man. And it ruined Nell's life.
But Sir Frank has reunited the Churchers for a very particular
reason. The book is being reissued, along with a new treasure hunt
and a documentary crew are charting the anniversary. Nell is
appalled, and fearful. During the filming, Frank finally reveals
the whereabouts of the missing golden bone. And then all hell
breaks loose. From the bestselling author of He Said/She Said and
Watch Her Fall, this is a taut, mesmerising novel about a daughter
haunted by her father's legacy . . .
