PART 1 OF AN EXCITING NEW THREE-PART SERIES!

 
1581: It appeared in the west as the sun was setting, a distant silhouette like a fire on the water. Twelve hours later it appeared again, this time much closer to the mainland...Who was on board or where they came from remained a mystery...No trace of the vessel was ever found...
 
1904: In an old graveyard in a remote part of the Isles of Scilly, a distinguished academic makes a surprising discovery. The inscriptions on the gravestones are unlike any he has ever seen, at least in that part of the world. The clues point to an astounding possibility: a maritime legend and a priceless treasure. And a four-hundred-year-old cover-up!
 
Present Day: History Lecturer Dr Ben Maloney is sitting in his office when the phone rings. A call from his cousin is rarely anything out of the ordinary, but today what he has to say is anything but normal. His great-great-grandfather's ship has been discovered near a deserted island in the Isles of Scilly. Along with his murdered corpse!

Dropping everything, Maloney's decision to visit the site of his ancestor's demise soon proves to be one fraught with danger. With nothing but a hundred-year-old diary and legends from the island's past to guide him, Maloney's only chance to solve the riddle of his ancestor's death is to unravel the pieces of an altogether greater mystery. An unimaginable treasure remains unfound. And some will stop at nothing to find it...
