The Fever - Traces of Treasure, #1

"Sam Milton's normal life is turned upside-down by a chance deathbed revelation:"There's a gold mine out there ... "This sparks a ten-year obsession and Sam's life becomes a solitary struggle of self and purpose. He works in secret, lying, trespassing, and doing whatever it takes to continue his quest, even though he sacrifices love, friendship, and family pursuing his elusive goal.  When a solution seems within reach ...
THE FEVER  takes over and nothing, not even a new love interest, can stop him from hastily planning another perilous trip. Join Sam as he recklessly heads out, certain that he will either find something in the wilderness ... or die trying. How far would you be willing to go to feed YOUR fever?
