Publisher's Synopsis
In 1751, a French ship left Montreal carrying chests of gold coin intended as payment to French troops stationed at Fort St. Frederic, located at the south end of Lake Champlain. Unfortunately for the French soldiers who had not been paid in two years, the ship struck rocks off Garden Island and sunk. Over the course of many years, numerous divers searched for the golden treasure without success. In July 2001, two recreational divers find the gold secreted in a cave beneath Valcour Island. The gleam of gold and their dreams of wealth triggered a path of death and destruction.
