Coming soon: The Lucky Six
1864: In the middle of the American Civil War, six Confederate soldiers search for hidden gold in the western Carolina hills…
1874: Ten years later, in Watkins, New York, recent college graduate Annie Anderson visits her parents’ graves and discovers a dead man slumped against one of the gravestones, clutching a gold nugget. Annie runs to alert the sheriff, but the dead man and the gold mysteriously disappear before they return. Without a body, the sheriff dismisses her story, so Annie stubbornly begins her own investigation to find the man’s killer. Her search for clues is complicated by the flood of rich, summer 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.
