A treasure's concealed clues. A family secret's hints. Both result in murder in this gripping suspenseful book.
The little Oregonian village of Eagle's Nest is overwhelmed by fervent wealth hunters as a result of a nationwide treasure hunt offering a $2 million reward. The hunt's mysterious hints and the allure of riches have revealed the violent and desperate aspects of human avarice, including trespassing, theft, and even murderous intent. Despite his desire for calm in his community, police chief Truman Daly is dealing with a murder. There's more lurking in the trees than just the huge reward. And a murderer is.
FBI special agent Mercy Kilpatrick looks into a little boy's allegation that his mother and infant sister have been missing for weeks when he wanders into the neighbourhood café. What she discovers is a startling twist in the boy's narrative. Deadly repercussions resulted from deep family secrets and deception that began sixty years ago suddenly emerging into the present.
The investigations conducted by Mercy and Truman reveal two interwoven mysteries as dark as an Oregon forest, leading them down a road of murder, retaliation, and hidden truths.
