Spoils of War

On his 21^st birthday, Glenn spies his rogue of a grandad making his way through the throng of the party to where he stood at the bar. Victor is a war veteran and a hero from Dublin, but these days, fifty years later, he is seen usually outside of a pub. Loved by all the men and despised by the women, what secrets does he hide?

He tells Glenn a fantastic story of hidden war treasure and challenges his grandsons to go to North Africa and find it. The story is laughed off until Victor’s untimely death leaves the full-written story and a pot of money. The grandsons feel they have to follow Victor’s footsteps, and so begins across continents an adventure of murder, treasure hunting and love…
