But withsix people trying to kill them over a dead bootlegger's lost fortune and apirate's treasure secretly buried three hundred years ago, they both neededeach other.First Bill Popple, the muscular serious-minded
research student, unearths information which makes the odds high in favor ofpirate gold being hidden long ago on what is now Hartman's property. Then JaneTeach, the streamlined girl of ready wit, who seems to know more than Bill doesabout almost everything, suggests that there may be not one treasure but two,the first one part of her ancestor's lost loot, the second a bootlegger'sill-gotten gains. Next, Jane and Bill discover a corpse lying on a beach near OxbowBay with gold pieces sunk into its eye sockets.Soon the pair find themselves up to their necks in
mystery and dark doings involving the heterogeneous group of strangers who haveappeared suddenly in town to wait and watch for ... what? From then on, Jane andBill never experience a dull moment.How they extricate themselves, and at the same
time solve two deep mysteries, adds up to an absorbing novel of skullduggeryand sudden death in which excitement and romance mount to an increasingly highpitch and culminate in a wholly satisfying climax.
