Only Charlie Parker knows that his image as a successful,
well-respected family man is a complete lie and with his life
collapsing around him he travels to the secluded mountain house
that has been owned by his family for generations. Hidden in his
father's library Charlie unearths a bizarre diary that claims a
rogue tribe of Cherokee Indians stole a fortune in gold coins
before the Civil War and hid the treasure in an ancient burial cave
in a remote part of the Appalachian Mountains. Compelled by forces
he doesn't understand, Charlie embarks upon a self-destructive
march to uncover the truth as he discovers his family's darkest
secrets. His ancestor's heinous crimes force Charlie to face the
demons unleashed by his family from so long ago and he is haunted
by nightmares, tormented by a strange man claiming ownership of the
diary and terrorized by Cherokee spirits known in Indian mythology
as The Nunnehi. The horrifying encounters send Charlie spiraling
into an alcohol fueled frenzy to find the Cherokee gold, no matter
the cost. Does the gold exist? Are the bizarre events really
happening to Charlie or has his mind finally collapsed under the
pressures of mental illness, alcohol abuse and a failed business?
Those questions linger in the reader's mind until the final page as
Charlie battles internal demons and external monsters to discover
the truth about himself, and the legend of the Cherokee Gold.
