Treasure Hunters

About the Book

     In 1868, a prostitute has just escaped from a Wyoming brothel.  While hiding, she meets an Indian fugitive accused of robbing a train.  They become partners and outlaws by circumstance, and the legend of the treasure they unwittingly purloin begins. 

     In the present, archaeologist Alexa Davis has unearthed the bones of the escaped prostitute and outlaw Clara May Stoddard. Though Clara’s legendary treasure has never been located, her burial holds a clue, and the race to find it begins. Yet within the treasure lies an astonishing secret, one that none of the hunters could fathom, and one that will determine the destiny of everyone involved. The stories of the past and present evolve together, and in the unpredictable end, are inconceivably and fatefully linked.
