The Lost Dutchman Goldmine in Arizona, USA, is the stuff of legend
and history. In this novel, "what if" and history are mixed to
create drama, humor, and mystery. Arizona Sheriff Jake Macklebee,
tired of not getting the respect he deserves, retires from law
enforcement in the down-by-the-border community that was in his
jurisdiction for over 17 years. Barely starting his first day of
retirement with a hike down to a lake to fish, Jake snags not a
weed or twig but a skeleton. The body is chained to a secret
corridor hidden below the water. So begins the unraveling of the
long hidden secret of the Lost Dutchman Goldmine in the
Superstition Mountains. Before Jake can figure out what's going on,
though, certain forces are out to attack him, even silence him, and
then he's on the run, dodging bullets, caught up in another episode
of finding out what he has found that those forces don't want him
to know: it's the discovery of the long hidden cache of Jacob
Waltz's gold
