Bol Everyone in Swanage knows the story. Nobody has ever proved it.Jake Barton did not choose to spend the Easter holidays in Dorset. His mum is working every day of the break, so he has been packed off to stay with Bill and Winn - kind, elderly, and living at the top of a very steep hill.Then he sees the watch.Solid gold, kept apart from the others in Bill's cabinet, and nobody is allowed to touch it. That night Bill tells him why: a Danish fleet wrecked in the bay in 877, a fortune in gold raised from the seabed a thousand years later by two Victorian stonemasons, hidden, and never seen again. It has beaten three generations of Bill's family.With Becky - who is nine, and braver than she looks - Jake starts working through the clues the old men left behind. Across the downs. Up to Corfe Castle. Out along the cliffs above Durlston, where the answer has been sitting in plain sight for a hundred and forty years.But someone else has been hunting the same gold for a very long time. He drives a black pick-up. He is extremely friendly. And he has noticed the boy asking questions.A treasure hunt built on real history, real places, and a puzzle you can solve alongside Jake. First in the Jake Barton Adventures.
