SERENDIPITY

Patrick Baines is under arrest for the murder of multimillionaire Sir Wilfred Theodore Fulton. Over the course of a gruelling interview, he must explain how he came to possess both the murder weapon and a considerable quantity of cash taken from the victim’s personal safe. Patrick must do everything in his power to convince the police of his innocence to spare himself from a lifetime behind bars.

Patrick recounts to the investigating officer how, while trying to help someone succumbing to the dangerous synthetic drug, “Spice”, he accidentally breaks a bench dedicated to Sir Wilfred and finds a crisp fifty-pound note and a riddle hidden inside the memorial plaque. A riddle, which sends Patrick on a treasure hunt across Sheffield. The prize? Half of Sir Wilfred’s vast fortune.

Along the way, Patrick is hampered not only by his sister’s new husband, with whom he has a violent history, but also by Sir Wilfred’s son, who will stop at nothing to prevent Patrick from obtaining what Wilf Jr believes to be his inheritance.

Despite the obstacles in his way, will Patrick find all the riddles and piece together the clues to the ultimate prize? Or will his past collide with his present and bring everything crashing down around him?

Serendipity is a fast-paced thriller set in the Steel City of Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
