Book Synopsis
A long-lost treasure, a deadly chase, and a magnificent beast of legends
For almost three hundred years, people have searched for one of the greatest treasures in history-the lost gold of the Scottish Jacobites. Following his father's death and a brazen late-night break-in at the United States Naval Academy, Lieutenant Carter Porter, his life and career in tatters, unwittingly joins the quest.
In Scotland, Hassie Douglass, a spirited young employee of a luxury inn situated on the picturesque shores of Loch Ness, thinks her prayers have been answered when she stumbles across four old gold coins that may be part of the Jacobite treasure. But she can't tell anybody how she really found them; they would think she had lost her mind. Who would believe she followed a strange, ethereal voice emanating from the loch? Struggling to accept what she heard, she can't deny that the gold in her hand is real.
The allure of such a valuable cache draws evil, like the moth to a flame. No sooner does Carter receive a strange bequest from his late father and Hassie's find is publicized than a shadowy, well-armed group of mercenaries attacks each of them. Soon, Carter's and Hassie's fates are joined, and their survival depends on solving more than one ancient mystery while facing their worst nightmares.
Blending historical fact and Scottish legend within an action-packed adventure, Treasures of the Lochs is an exciting, powerful story of faith, friendship, and redemption.
