About This Book

A group of young guests and their hosts settle into a seaside villa and become embroiled in a local mystery surrounding an old hidden chest. The story alternates domestic scenes—running lodgings, friendships, and holiday gatherings—with outdoor adventures among beaches, tidal races, caves, ruined castles, and cellar vaults. Clues such as a dotted line, chains, and ghostly rumors lead them through discoveries, narrow escapes, and practical problem-solving, while island atmosphere, canine companionship, and youthful resourcefulness shape the hunt and its eventual resolution.
