Ingots of Gold: A Miss Marple Short Story

When Raymond West visits the Cornish coast for a quiet holiday, he expects nothing more than sea air and a few days of writing. Instead, he finds himself caught in a mystery involving sunken treasure, suspicious locals, and a friend who may not be what he seems.

At the heart of the intrigue is the legend of the Juan Fernandez, a Spanish galleon said to have sunk off the coast, its gold still hidden beneath the waves. Raymond’s host, John Newman, is obsessed with the wreck, convinced that the treasure is real and within reach. But when Newman goes missing and a local diver becomes a suspect, the hunt for gold turns deadly.

Inspector Badgworth arrives to investigate, uncovering secrets buried deeper than any shipwreck. With a professional diver, a surly landlord, and a village full of whispers, it’s clear that someone will do anything to keep the past hidden.

As storms batter the cliffs and old grudges resurface, Raymond must navigate a web of lies, greed, and betrayal. Was the Spanish gold ever real, or is there a different fortune at stake? And who can be trusted when everyone seems to have something to hide?

For fans of classic whodunits and seaside mysteries, Ingots of Gold delivers sharp twists, a chilling atmosphere, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the last page.

Will you uncover the truth before it’s lost beneath the waves?
