During the evening they made secret predictions about their futures, which they locked away in a time capsule. The group reassembles in college to open the capsule on the allotted date, but less than twenty-four hours into their reunion one of them is stabbed to death and the capsule itself goes missing. Whiteley is dragged into a treasure hunt with his eccentric former criminology tutor, Gerald Sinclair, as the unlikely duo race to track down the time capsule and unlock the mystery before the killer finds it.  About the Author By day, Alex is a solicitor. He lives in Cambridge with his wife, eleven-year-old son and two rather large, bumbling ragdoll cats.About the HostAuthor of Remembered and Curdle Creek, Yvonne Battle-Felton is an award-winning novelist, academic, event host, and podcaster, and lives a literary life bringing people together over stories. For information about Yvonne's books, events, and more vist https://www.yvonnebattlefelton.com/ or sign up to Yvonne's Substack https://yvonnebattlefelton.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.
