Time ticked by slowly in Bowral, alone with her thoughts.On her mother’s advice she decided to do some gardening.One day, while digging up some dead rose bushes in her back garden, Jubilee inadvertently dug up an old biscuit tin.Expecting to find animal bones inside, she instead found eighteen pieces of ornately exquisite jewellery.

Jubilee knew she could not keep them, but her curiosity prevented her from handing them to the police straight away.Compelled to know when they were buried and by whom, Jubilee asks her cousin Meg for help and together they begin to unravel the mystery of the biscuit tin.
