The Tickencote Treasure

Two intrepid individuals, a doctor and a sea captain, embark on a routine voyage across the Mediterranean when they make an astonishing discovery: a long-lost Elizabethan-era derelict, now encrusted with centuries of marine growth, eerily floating on the open sea. Once boarded, this mysterious vessel, later identified as the Seahorse, reveals a trove of ancient gold and jewels, alongside cryptic documents detailing a vast hidden fortune and a chilling secret.
As the doctor delves into deciphering the complex cipher that holds the key to this immense wealth, he finds himself plunged into a perilous quest, battling not only rival treasure hunters who stop at nothing to claim the riches, but also a sinister secret society with a brutal agenda. With danger at every turn and a deadly race against time, he must unravel a centuries-old conspiracy involving betrayal, murder, and a hidden family legacy, all while protecting a captivating woman caught in the web of deceit.
