George Powell is on the run from police, but trainee reporter Holly Morgan manages to track him down. She’s hoping he’ll finally reveal the truth about the missing coins, but George won’t make it easy.

As the pieces of treasure that have been recovered go on display in Herefordshire, the biggest question remains: with hundreds of coins uned for, is the hoard gone for good – or is someone sitting on a fortune?
