Publisher's Synopsis
Hollis Woodhead, tired of the rock and roll excesses of life on the road with his heavy metal band, has spent his more subdued but impoverished "afterlife" writing a sure-fire bestseller treasure hunt. Hoard is the published result and the first correct solution of its puzzle will lead a lucky winner to a two-million pound prize. Woodhead, a scoundrel from the outset, has his own dreams about the prize money but they are thrown into turmoil by the greed, ambition and criminality of some clever but crazy treasure hunters.
