*A Second Chance (Also published as 'The Sun, The Glass, and the
Leaning Rock'), Volume 1 in the Florea/Holland Mystery Series... A
SECOND CHANCE (original edition) is a thrilling story of high
adventure, of friendships, of romance, of loyalties and betrayals,
and of great personal danger in the lives of ordinary people. This
tale combines a tricolor of excitement, yielding the grand
adventure of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', the enchantment and humor
of 'Romancing the Stone', and the suspenseful who-done-it of
Sherlock Holmes--hang on tight The story opens in the year 1984,
but centers on the 1924 discovery of the 'Lost Dutchman's Mine' in
Arizona, the inevitable misfortune of it's discoverer, and the
strange fate of the loot itself. A treasure map, an unusual
necklace, and a simple nursery rhyme set the stage for double
murder, betrayal, kidnapping, and unrelenting drama in this tale of
the high desert. An unemployed ex-cop and his two friends become
entwined in this adventure-mystery, which takes the reader from
Boston to Arizona, from Ohio to California, and finally into the
harsh, Nevada desert, where the good guys meet the bad guys in a
final, head-on confrontation. Both want to unlock the treasure's
secret--'the sun, the glass, and the leaning rock, tell you when
it's four o' clock'. If you're ready to jump out of an airplane on
a foggy night, hopefully land unscathed in rugged terrain, repel
from a high cliff on a short rope, take an eerie night stroll
across miles of barren desert, find your way through an unyielding
sandstorm, escape a deadly confrontation with rattlesnakes, pass
through the turbulent waters of a flash flood, leap from a
high-rolling flatcar on a train ride to terror, and in the meantime
solve all the 'who-done-it' before the astonishing climax--then you
are more than welcome to the millions in gold that lay hidden
within a dark, abandoned void, somewhere near Ely, Nevada.
