The Piddlington Gazette is ready to dig up another story.
When intrepid reporter Hattie falls into a giant sinkhole in the High Street of Piddlington Minster, she escapes with little more than bruises, and a glimpse of something glittering beneath the surface. Gold, perhaps? Her editor, Harry Hedges, senses the scoop of a lifetime.
But before anyone can investigate, the town's disgraced MP, Alistair Groves, is found dead in the very same sinkhole. At first glance, it looks like a tragic accident. But a missing necklace, a suspicious power cut, and a town full of people with reasons to despise Alistair soon point to something far more sinister...
As Harry digs deeper, he uncovers a mystery involving long-lost heist jewels, a forgotten Victorian graveyard, a shady East End millionaire, a wronged civil servant, and a heartbroken young intern.
With old secrets resurfacing, Harry discovers that some treasures are better left buried, especially when murder is already underfoot...
