Short description
A 21st century action adventure treasure quest thriller – with explorers racing to get the treasure first – with constant action from the start – and a movie-style layout, plot, and setting – set in an ancient desolate haunted castle! The lost treasure is buried away for centuries, and the only clues to its whereabouts are an ancient riddle: where the last dwell, markings on a tomb, and legends.Extended description
The treasure is buried away for centuries, hidden away in a secret chamber, with no precise suggestion of its existence, even after being scanned by archeologists with the most advanced and up-to-date equipment.The only clues to its whereabouts are an ancient riddle: where the last dwell, the markings on a tomb, and legends of treasure passed down to generations of castle owners.
The castle's mysteries are lost in time, for someone, someday, to come along and find the answer to – to discover what is hidden there.
A group of people are forced into staying at the castle, for a week, to explore the immense castle, and vast estate – as they are fanatical with hunting and getting their hands on the treasure, which they believe has been left there by the late owner – even after two major murders, and televised police investigations.
The treasure is found where nobody anticipates it to be, and though they guess where the killer will strike, and catch him, they are amazed at who it is.

on Jan. 15, 2013 :
This book has everything, on every page, from the start, and is set out in a winter snow blanketed and blizzard alien-like landscape in a desolate region of northern Highland Scotland – lost in a time warp from the rest of the world, in an ancient historical and immense castle – the length of a football pitch – with three floors – of endless rooms and corridors – hidden passages and chambers – at the height of a five story building.
The first pages have accounts of creepy legends, people’s accounts, and facts of deaths, strange sightings, hauntings at the castle and estate, with detailed accounts of what was known of the buried treasure – and from the start it bestows an action-packed haunting – and is followed up by a murder whodunit, with characters relentlessly in heavy action.
A proficient book with potential that I’ve not found so much lately!

This book is exceptionally difficult to read, with a huge overuse of puncutuation. I don't see the need to use 4 comma's in a 14 word sentence.
