Book excerpt: "Joseph Benton has a Bible handed down from his famous ancestor Joseph Bonaparte, the former King of Spain and older brother to Napoleon. Inside the Bible is a cipher that family legend says leads to a magnificent treasure stolen from the Spanish Royal Treasury when King Joseph fled Spain. This exciting treasure hunt blends historical facts with a terrific story and complex characters creating tension pitting environmentalist vs. developer and friend vs. friend. The story takes the reader from Lake Bonaparte to Cranberry Lake, Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake, and Lake Placid. The search leads to murder, romance and intrigue that will keep you up at night wondering to yourself...could the legend be true?" -- cover.
