Larry Weill has woven a masterful tale of the mysterious 1804 silver
dollar, coined in the Philadelphia mint under duplicitous circumstances
and immediately hidden for posterity to protect the mint director's
family honor. It was a priceless cache that was never supposed to be
found. The hiding spot for this treasure was carefully conceived and
meticulously constructed. Tens of thousands of people would walk
directly past the site without suspecting a thing. The very size and
nature of the concealment space would ensure its safety from ever being
compromised. And so it would be for over one hundred fifty years. the
treasure may have remained hidden forever if not for the involvement of
two young men who recently gained notoriety for finding the Robert
Gordon treasure on Lake Champlain in Adirondack Trail of Gold. As they
battle a lawless adversary committed to claiming the treasure for
himself, they must also negotiate mind-bending riddles and fake clues in
obscure historical documents, all shrouding the path that leads to one
of the Adirondacks' most historic sites. In Marcy's Shadow is the
follow-up to Adirondack Trail of Gold by Larry Weill, the best-selling
author of Excuse Me, Sir...Your Socks Are On Fire, Pardon Me,
Sir...There s A Moose In Your Tent, and Forgive Me, Ma'am... Bears Don't
Wear Blue.
