San Gabriel's Secret

By David Ciambrone

A mysterious Civil War journal lands in the hands of newspaper columnist Adam Thomas - immersing him in a strange and deadly treasure hunt. When a package arrives at the Williamson County Sun for Ask Aunt Kay columnist Adam Thomas, he has no idea who sent it or why. But he's intrigued. It's a 150 year old Confederate Sergeant's journal, detailing his Northern Virginia regiment's travels through Texas - transporting something valuable. Something they desperately wanted to keep safe. With the Union Army in hot pursuit the Confederates hid their cargo in a cave, somewhere near the San Gabriel River. Could it be gold? Was it still hidden somewhere nearby? Adam and his lawyer girlfriend Kathy Rossi decide to have some fun and embark on a treasure hunt. As they gather maps and gear, the trouble begins - it seems numerous people know about the journal, and they're willing to do anything to get it and find the treasure - even kill. When an attractive female government agent offers to help Adam find the cave, something about her story and her many job titles doesn't ring true - who is she really working for and why do they want the bounty? As they get closer to finding the secret location, and details of the treasure get stranger, even more people seem to be after Kathy and Adam. Can they find whatever it is before one or both of them get killed?
