The Treasury of Belusha

A tale, three in one; the story of an adopted child who finds inadvertently, that he is the head of a notorious family. It’s also about the history of a chateau, once a castle now a hotel, and it’s about the origins and the scull-duggery surrounding a hoard of treasure gathered from all over the world to end up in one man’s hands. A book of fiction with just enough truth to be believable, written by an author who loves the magic behind a good piratical legend. Today Bevan has a very international house hold at his home in Auckland New Zealand where many folk from around the world have come to stay, he meets and talks and sometimes finds a true story around which he weaves a tale or two. The treasury of Belusha is supposed to be a fun novel about a wealth obsessed Napoleonic General; the affect he has decades later on the life of an ordinary New Zealander, and an obscure man who through his own manipulations joins together the heritages of both men.
