De: John M. Vermillion

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

It began innocently. A suspended manager of a Minor League baseball team, Jock Holden, uses his time away from the team as a hireling, his job to tear down three four-decades old mountainside hunting cabins. Hidden under support posts he discovers leather bags buried 40 years ago. The bounty has present-day value of one to several million dollars. Bags in hand, Holden thinks he’s pulled off a successful heist…but someone has watched him from the start. When this person threatens to spill the beans, Holden brutalizes her. Now he’s guilty of both grand theft and murder. A former player, working with police, connects with Holden to build the case against Holden. Instead, the player falls in league with Holden. The two criminals dig in on Felix Fox’s 20,000-acre ranch. The manhunt reaches a violent climax as the escapees fight with the forces of nature as much as with the law.
