Book excerpt: The novel concerns the activities of Will Monahue, specifically taking place during one summer. He is told by his uncle that his uncle has come into possession of an expensive piece of jewellery, and it his wish that it is sold, with the money to be bequeathed to Will when he comes of age. However, the necklace is then stolen suddenly, and with no insurance cover or clue as to the thief, his uncle’s proposition seems destroyed. Taking advantage of a chance meeting, Will, together with his best friend, sets out to retrace the necklace, and in doing so, embarks on a treacherous journey, taking him all the way to Scotland in pursuit of a set of dangerous criminals. They soon find themselves prisoners in a remote house at the mercy of the man who orchestrated the theft. It takes a great deal of luck, and bravery on all parts for them to finally escape, and even then there is no guarantee that they will ever recover the necklace. Throughout the story, Will’s difficulty in overcoming his great sense of guilt with regards to the robbery, and his feelings towards one of the girls from his college, Ellize, run as major themes.
