Inhaltsangabe

THE TREASURY: Even after all this time, the dead still want their share. Lock Stock meets The Sixth Sense is the author's description of his expansive second novel, set in two time periods hundreds of years apart. In the final throws of his reign a desperate King John loses his entire baggage train of coins and jewels in the desolate East Anglian Fens. Eight centuries later, gangster Jimmy Pearce gets a shot at finding the often-despised monarch's treasure. Ruthless, aggressive and well connected, he leads a crew that knows no limits when it comes to obtaining the desired result. But, before he can get his hands on the valuable prize he must deal with the expanse of bleak terrain, the RAF and then Rupert and his band of high society student vigilantes. Two leaders, one prize. No-one wants to miss out on the largest haul in history, and that includes those no longer of this world. The Treasury is a violent and bloody rollercoaster heist, where the dead are as vital as the living.
