by V. William Barrett (Author)
The Lost Dutchman Goldmine in Arizona, USA, is the stuff of legend and history. In this novel, "what if" and history are mixed to create drama, humor, and mystery. Arizona Sheriff Jake Macklebee, tired of not getting the respect he deserves, retires from law enforcement in the down-by-the-border community that was in his jurisdiction for over 17 years. Barely starting his first day of retirement with a hike down to a lake to fish, Jake snags not a weed or twig but a skeleton. The body is chained to a secret corridor hidden below the water. So begins the unraveling of the long hidden secret of the Lost Dutchman Goldmine in the Superstition Mountains. Before Jake can figure out what's going on, though, certain forces are out to attack him, even silence him, and then he's on the run, dodging bullets, caught up in another episode of finding out what he has found that those forces don't want him to know: it's the discovery of the long hidden cache of Jacob Waltz's gold
