Seventeen Parcels
Synopsis
Seventeen Parcels presents an exciting—and unconventional—treasure hunt that will keep readers intrigued with every turn of the page. In this novel, a wealthy man bequeaths a vast fortune to his three adult children but provides instructions on how to access it through 17 packages hidden across the United States. Now, the heirs must find the packages and follow the trail to the inheritance—if it truly exists. Billionaire Xander Moorhouse’s lawyer hires a delivery driver to hide 17 mysterious packages, each in a different U.S. state. The driver, Austin Somerfeld, carries out the task over 18 months, adhering to strict rules and receiving half a million dollars for the service. Moorhouse passes away 11 years later, leaving instructions for his adult children—Caroline, David, and Juliana—to find the hidden packages and open them in numerical order, but only after all of them have been located. Initially reluctant, the three heirs eventually become invested in and enjoy the adventure. It is a captivating book for readers who love treasure hunts and cross-country journeys, inviting them to follow the drama of hiding and—later—finding the 17 packages, while facing a series of obstacles and challenges along the way. These readers will be just as intrigued as the heirs when the packages are finally opened and Xander’s true intentions are revealed.
