The Impossible Fortune

Autor: Richard Osman

The narrative takes place roughly a year after the heavy and emotional events of the previous book, The Last Devil to Die. The Coopers Chase retirement village gang is at different crossroads: Elizabeth is deeply grieving a profound loss, Ron is managing complicated family issues, Ibrahim is focusing on his psychiatric therapy work, and Joyce is energetically helping her daughter, Joanna, plan her upcoming wedding. The peaceful monotony is shattered on the day of the wedding. One of the wedding guests—Nick Silver, the best man—approaches Elizabeth in a state of absolute terror. He reveals a massive secret and a direct threat to his life, drawing the Thursday Murder Club right back into the center of a live investigation. The case rapidly escalates into a high-stakes, explosive puzzle involving uncrackable codes, hidden bombs, and the hunt for a buried fortune worth over £300 million.
