THE SKELETON KEY - ERIN KELLY KARTONIERT (TB)

A reunion leads to tragedy  and the unravelling of dark family secrets . . . It is the summer
of 2021 and Nell has come home at her family's insistence to celebrate an anniversary. Her
father  Sir Frank Churcher  is regarded as a cult figure by many. Fifty years ago he wrote The
Golden Bones. Part picture book  part treasure hunt  it was a fairy story about Elinore  a
murdered woman whose skeleton was scattered all over England. Clues and puzzles in the pages of
The Golden Bones led readers to seven sites where jewels were buried - gold and precious stones
each a different part of a skeleton. One by one  the tiny golden bones were dug up until only
Elinore's pelvis remained hidden. The book was a sensation. A community of treasure hunters
called the Bonehunters formed  in frenzied competition  obsessed to a dangerous degree. People
sold their homes to travel to England and search for Elinore. Marriages broke down as the quest
consumed people. A man died. The book made Frank a rich man. And it ruined Nell's life. But Sir
Frank has reunited the Churchers for a very particular reason. The book is being reissued 
along with a new treasure hunt and a documentary crew are charting the anniversary. Nell is
appalled  and fearful. During the filming  Frank finally reveals the whereabouts of the missing
golden bone. And then all hell breaks loose. From the bestselling author of He Said She Said
and Watch Her Fall  this is a taut  mesmerising novel about a daughter haunted by her father's
legacy . . .
