Synopsis

Imagine discovering a Spanish cache of gold and treasure! Chests full of gold coins, jewelry and artifacts. Books and codices that might change history. Gold bullion stacked like cord wood worth millions!But it's on Federal land and Uncle Sam has strict guidelines for recovering such a treasure. The guidelines are a mass of red tape and you're becoming paranoid, afraid that if you dot every I and cross every T the word will get out and you'd be hounded by masses of scam artists and crooks of every stripe.Besides, where do you sell bricks of gold? Suppose you choose a site off the internet and sell several hundred thousand dollars' worth of gold only to find out that the buyer is a front for the Mob and he's made it clear they want the rest!What if word leaked out and a crooked deputy sheriff with an equally crooked brother who is your parole officer decide to take the lion's share just because they think they can?And what about regular people talking among themselves and embellishing the gossip they hear, the media wanting to inform their audiences since "they have the right to know" and less than honest types scheming to get their hands on what you've discovered?Starting to sound like a nightmare? Welcome to Mike Eaton's world and he doesn't have any more of an idea what to do that you do . . .

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Terry L. Shaffer did most of his growing up around Oregon City, Oregon. At eighteen he joined the U.S. Navy where he saw duty in Southern California, Washington, D.C. and in the Republic of South Vietnam. He was released about three months early from his active duty enlistment to go to college where he earned his Associates Degree in one year before going on to Portland State University where he majored in Political Science. Mr. Shaffer joined the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Department in 1975, and retired in 2000. During his career he worked patrol, detectives, administration and narcotics and was a sergeant for sixteen years. He claims twenty-five years’ writing experience in the true crime genre. Though he owns a home in Colton, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains southeast of Portland, Oregon, Mr. Shaffer resides in his motorhome fulltime since he leaves for the Southwestern U.S. in October and doesn’t return to Oregon until April. He doesn’t like to stay in the same place all winter and has spent time in Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, California and Nevada, where he visits friends and does his writing. Mr. Shaffer travels with his two miniature Dachshunds, Maggie and Emma, and enjoys offroading, photography, reading and, of course, writing.
