The Mystery of The Shawnee Caves

By Richard Krause

THE MYSTERY OF THE SHAWNEE CAVES

When archaeologist Professor Jamie Blackwood discovers the body of retired teacher Margaret Henshaw on a trail near the Shawnee Caves, he finds a rare 1860 Gold Double Eagle coin clutched in her lifeless hand.

The murder investigation plunges Jamie and his team into a deadly mystery spanning three centuries, from the Civil War to the present day. Deep within the caves lies evidence of a truth that powerful people will kill to keep buried-Confederate raiders, stolen Union gold, and a covert operation that forever changed American history.

As Jamie uncovers the surprising connection between Margaret and a Union spy embedded with Mosby's Raiders, he realizes the stolen gold was transformed into something far more significant than treasure. But modern forces with ancestral ties to the Confederacy will stop at nothing to maintain the carefully constructed historical narrative that protects their interests.

With bodies mounting and caves collapsing around them, Jamie races to expose the truth: a network of wealth and influence that transcended the Civil War itself and continues to shape American power structures to this day.

Some secrets weren't meant to stay buried. Some legacies demand to be revealed.
