How did bootleggers end up with pirates’ stolen treasure?
And who murdered the nicest man in the village?
Intrigued by a document discovered by a local man, Steve and Jill agree to hunt for a British payroll that was stolen by river pirates at the end of the War of 1812. A series of searches and dives uncovers evidence that they are on the right track and retrieval seems certain…
…unless a needy drug addict can implement his dangerous and deadly plan to steal it from them first.
In the village, police investigators work against an ever-shrinking deadline to identify the killer of a community stalwart. All of their efforts seem stymied until an unlikely source turns up the murder weapon…
…and a suspect. When social media and new clues turn the case on its head, Jill comes up with a plan to flush out the real killer. And the
plan works…
…until the killer figures out what is going on.
