|genre=Thrillers
|summary=''The Golden Bones is going to follow me around for the rest of my life. How can I trust anyone? It all leads back to you!''
Nell didn't want to go to the reunion to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of ''The Golden Bones''. She'd had no benefit from it - in fact, it had made her life precarious and unbelievably challenging. I'd better explain. ''The Golden Bones'' was a treasure quest book painted and written by Frank and Cora Churcher. The story revolved around murdered Elinore whose golden and bejewelled bones were hidden around the country. The clues - some of them quite tortuous - were disguised in the words and pictures of the book - and all the parts were discovered except for the pelvis. As with such quests, some people were obsessive and the theories became more and more outlandish.}}=='''6 OCTOBER4 JULY'''==
