A Deadly Legend

"I've almost found what I need. Keep this notebook safe, don't read it and I'll call you in a few days. Don't tell anyone about this. That's very important. Don't tell anyone"

News reporter Dan Sullivan receives a mysterious package just days after a woman is found dead at the derelict Old Manor Hall in Allensbury.

Inside is a letter and an old notebook that could provide the location of the missing treasure of Simeon Burns, former owner of the hall.

A charity treasure hunt, celebrating the 200th anniversary of Allensbury Museum, is already underway. But soon another person is murdered, seemingly connected to the treasure, which has been missing for centuries.

Solving modern-day murders is one thing, but a 160-year-old cold case could be beyond Dan's skills.

With his friends Ed and Emma on hand, Dan soon finds there's more to the story than meets the eye, and treasure isn't the only thing at stake.

Will they be able to find the treasure and the killer before anyone else gets hurt?

A Deadly Legend is the fifth exciting instalment in the Allensbury Mysteries series.
