The Secret of the Silver Cavern

By Andrew M Dare

Find DeSoto's Lost Silver

Ben Prescott, Porter Rockwell, and Latch McRae couldn't be more different. Ben is a home-schooled thinker and visionary, Porter is the starting quarterback for the Ridgeport Raiders, and Latch is the gear-man, who never saw a machine he couldn't take apart and set to purring. Different, yes, but the three have been friends forever with a shared passion: treasure hunting for the forgotten loot of American history.

When the hunters' senior trip to a famous Ozark Mountains theme park is commandeered by a mysterious "collector of antiquities" with a compelling map, the hunters find themselves deep in the underbelly of a legendary cave where a rumored stash of Spanish silver is said to lie--a treasure long hidden by the schemes of conmen, robbers, and bootleggers who sought to claim it as their own.
But the Collector and his map may not be what they seem.

Suddenly, survival is at stake as Ben, Porter, and Latch venture even deeper underground. Now they must plumb the cavern's secret passages, dodge bottomless pits, and probe lost chambers with only the secretive scrawls of a dubious map to guide them--all with a gang of cutthroats on their tail who seek to steal the cavern's treasure and trap the hunters beneath the mountains--forever

The American Treasure Hunters series is packed with adventure, mystery, and action as modern-day high school seniors Ben, Porter, and Latch search for lost treasure from America's hidden past.
