A lost gangster fortune. Blood diamonds. And a treasure hunt that could get Chase Baker killed.
Where did 1930s gangster Dutch Schultz hide his stolen millions in cash and diamonds?
Chase Baker is about to find out-no matter the cost.
Adventurer, treasure hunter, and international man of mystery Chase Baker is famous for uncovering ancient antiquities and lost riches in the world's most dangerous places. But this time, the hunt hits closer to home.
While attending a thriller writers' conference in New York City, Chase crosses paths with fellow author Les Edgerton, and the two begin swapping stories over drinks at the hotel bar. One legend stands above the rest: Dutch Schultz's missing fortune, rumored to be buried somewhere in a quiet town in Upstate New York.
Deciding real suspense beats talking about it, Chase and Les ditch the conference and head north-straight into a deadly race for one of America's most notorious hidden treasures.
Hot on their trail is a brilliant and beautiful true-crime writer with a shocking personal connection to the legend. The treasure doesn't just contain stolen cash-it includes a cache of priceless blue diamonds, smuggled into America in the mid-1800s by enslaved people who turn out to be her great-great-grandparents.
With a map carved into the back of a dead man's skull and a ruthless crew of crooked Russian gangsters closing in, Chase and his unlikely band of literary irregulars are plunged into a nonstop whirlwind of action, danger, and dark secrets-where the wrong move could land them in prison... or the morgue.
