A historical novel that starts in a modern day court room. A
skeleton is found in the basement of an old home being renovated in Cape
Girardeau, Missouri. Beside it is a cache of gold, and a fierce battle ensues
between the current owners of the home, and the family that originally built
it. The quest to find out where the gold came from, and how it got in that
basement – oh, and who killed the man in the basement?
The story goes back in time to steamboating days on the
Mississippi River, two star-crossed lovers, and a town deeply divided by the
Civil War. The answer to the questions will lead back to the court room, and a
resolution to the ownership of the gold.
