The Uriah Factor - Paperback

by D. Charles King (Author)

Jamie Patterson, a senior at Duke University, is facing a difficult decision: Will she accept the Rhodes Scholar offer, or will she compete in the Olympics? That decision is complicated when she meets the billionaire turned presidential candidate who fought alongside her grandfather in World War II. His odd reaction when she meets him leads her to investigate the history of her grandfather's death. The only survivor of that battle is an elderly recluse, who the army says is mentally deranged. The story he tells is of deceit and betrayal...and a truckload of Nazi gold. Is his story true? If so, will anyone believe him? Jamie's research will put her athletic career, her academic career--and her life--in danger as she seeks the truth.
