Cover of Hard Cases by Gareth Mitton (2024)

"In the early 2010s, Greg Masters--a twenty-something Englishman who followed a Newfoundland girl to St. John’s--finds himself drawn to the crowd at a house on Long’s Hill where he meets Crispin Summers--a charismatic leader with a love of seagulls--and his hodgepodge gang of misfits. Greg and two of Crispin’s housemates--zany local Shelly Lambert and mysterious US exchange student Mint Bonucci--find a briefcase on the Metrobus that contains fifty thousand dollars and a note with a riddle. source
