We’ve been celebrating Indie Author Week this week, so hopefully you’ve been reading my posts. If not, pop over to the blog page and check them out.

I thought I’d sign off with a little treat, the blurb for A Deadly Legend, the fifth instalment in the Allensbury Mysteries series.

The book itself is almost ready, with my cover designer starting work in the next week or so. Once the cover is available, I’ll be sharing that too. I’ll be publishing the book in the next few months, so if you want to keep up-to-date, sign up to my newsletter on the link below. You’ll also get the short story of Dan’s first investigation, A Deadly Disappearance.

Now, on with the show…

A Deadly Legend: the truth behind the myth could lead to murder

“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.
