In pursuit of the Seuso treasure

Hoping to go to a festival The high school students they met from the guards take a summer job near Lake Balaton, where suspicious figures soon appear around them. Inspector Renard comes to Lake Balaton with his children on vacation from Paris, but during their vacation, together with the Hungarian high school students, they become involved in a complex criminal case, which is increasingly connected to the Seuso silvers. This group of incomparable value has been at the center of crimes and murders since its discovery, and is surrounded by countless mysteries to this day.

- I think it could be worth a few thousand dollars - Jupi randomly came up with a number.
"It's close, Mr. Jurák, but not quite," Földvári smiled. - The starting price of the entire treasure find would have been one hundred million pounds, or roughly forty billion forints, but its owner at the time, a certain Lord Northampton, expected a much higher amount at the planned auction.
- Wow! Jupi opened his mouth. - And where is this treasure now?
- Here in Budapest, in the National Museum.
- What? Did they buy it from the lord for that much? And anyway, if it was found near the village of Szasza's grandmother, how did it come to be with this man, and why did it have to be bought from him? Did he kill the archaeologists?
- The case is much more complicated than that - declared Földvári.
