The forbears of Sir John Jory, of New Hall, would seem to have committed several foul acts, including tomb-robbery and murder.

Old Hall, the family's former residence, is now a University. Biographer Colin Clout, engaged to write an account of one of Jory's ancestors, gets caught up in a frenzied treasure hunt as rival interests and rival claimants probe the past and naked greed comes to the fore.
