​
March 24. Billionaire Lyndon Surway takes off in his private plane and never returns.
​
His will leaves the entirety of his wealth—one of the largest fortunes in history—to his “dear friend Lucian Baker.” Only there is no trace of anyone by that name. And the fortune itself is nowhere to be found.
​
Andrew Day knows nothing of wealth and privilege, but he won a scholarship to study at the most exclusive school in the country, in the town where the mystery, decades later, remains unsolved. As he and his new friends, the aristocratic Cameron and the beautiful Olivia, begin to unravel what really happened to the Surway fortune, the question remains:
​
Who is Lucian Baker?
Part I of The Surway Fortune
Gold Medal, Young Adult Mystery, Readers Favorite, 2020
​
Andrew Day looks like any other student.
​
At the Saint Clemens boarding school, nobody knows—not even his two best friends Cameron and Olivia—that Andrew is one of the wealthiest people in the world. No one knows that he has inherited the fortune of Lyndon Surway, the legendary tycoon, who disappeared decades ago and was never found. Nobody suspects that Andrew is the new master of the Surway House, which lay uninhabited through the years.
But as life returns to the stairways and ballrooms of the magnificent home, as Andrew ventures through forgotten passages and unmapped doors, strange things start to happen, almost as if someone were watching him, as if someone had expected him. And as he learns more about the people he loves, as he journeys into dark places where no one goes, Andrew begins to wonder:
Who is hiding inside the house?
Part II of The Surway Fortune
