Description
1864: In the middle of the American Civil War, six Confederate soldiers bond over their good luck and a treasure map to gold hidden in the western Carolina hills. On furlough, the soldiers search for the gold, not realizing their luck is about to run out.
1874: Ten years later, in Watkins, New York, recent college graduate Annie Anderson visits her parents' graves and discovers a dead man slumped against her mother's gravestone, clutching a gold nugget. Annie runs to alert the sheriff, but the dead man and the gold mysteriously disappear before she can return. Frustrated that without a body the sheriff has dismissed her story, Annie begins her own investigation to find the killer. Her search for clues is complicated by the summer flood of rich vacationers filling Watkins's luxury hotels with unfamiliar faces. As Annie stumbles upon long-buried secrets from her own past, she must decide who to trust while discovering the connections between Confederate soldiers, hidden gold, and a local counterfeiting ring-or risk becoming the next victim.
