About the Book

As part of his job of managing Fotheringham Manor for his parents Daniel Lord tries to help forest employee John Ferris and his wife Betty recover from their past traumatic week of rape and murder. These events happened in the Ferris cottage on the Estate because of the return of Idwal Ferris, Johns elder brother. For relaxation from these people problems Daniel teams up with Katya Howard to caddie for him around the golf course. However, Katya is also a forester and she wants to generate green revenues from the forest. While exploring the Estate Daniel and Katya start a series of events resulting in the discovery of some long-lost Lord family treasure, an old murder and the precipitation of a new and conclusive murder.
