The Secret of the 48th Foot is the tale of the search for one of the great lost treasures in history, a chest of gold and silver coins that disappeared after General Braddock was defeated near present-day Pittsburgh in July 1755. In this suspense thriller academicians Ben and Julia come upon a coded message full of riddles and clues that tell them not only where the treasure may be but that a ruthless band of right-wing militiamen are also after the treasure and have vowed to kill anyone who gets in their way. To keep ahead of their murderous pursuers the pair must rely on their wits, an academically-challenged former student and even the town fool. In a series of desperate moves and gutsy maneuvers, they careen across West Virginia and western Maryland, pursued by armed killers. What began as a race to find a historic treasure becomes a deadly race against time with a finale that is both surprising and poignant. Here is what some readers have said about this novel . . .
. . . A bit of history, a bit of academia, a bit of the mountains of West Virginia and a bit of imagination; put it all together and the author takes you on a rollercoaster ride that will have you holding onto the rails. The Secret of the 48th Foot is an exciting book. You will enjoy it.
. . . This quick read packs a wallop. History, mystery, geography, geology, logic, law, camping, hiking, and romance color the action. Ben and Julia, university professors and erstwhile lovers, struggle to stay one step ahead of evil thugs in search of long-hidden loot.
. . . An entertaining, action-filled, treasure-hunting tale. The Secret of the 48th Foot, wonderfully and artfully written, peppered with true historical events and people, will bait the reader with a cat-and-mouse game between our unwitting heroes (Ben and Julia) and their ruthless adversaries . . . I highly recommend this book as each clue and each chase will compel you to keep turning the pages to the impressive ending!
. . . An Appalachian Da Vinci Code. This book was entertaining from page one. If you are a fan of Dan Brown, Steve Berry, James Rollins or any thriller writers you will love this book.
. . . The Secret of the 48th Foot is an exceptionally well-written book; the principal characters are very compelling; the bad guys are truly despicable; the storyline is simply excellent; in short, I couldn't put this book down until I finished it.
