Chase Baker and the Dutch Diamonds

NEED A LITTLE ACTION AND ADVENTURE IN YOUR LIFE? MOVE OVER INDY, CHASE BAKER IN HERE...

Adventurer and lover, Chase Baker, is famous for seeking out ancient antiquities and treasure from some of the most exotic, not to mention, dangerous locales on earth. But when he runs into fellow author, Les Edgerton, at SuspenseFest, a conference for thriller writers in NYC, the two get talking about the 1930’s notorious gangster, Dutch Schultz, and the legend of his hidden treasure which is said to be buried in a little town in Upstate New York.

Feeling fine from a few drinks at the hotel bar, Chase and Les decide to skip the festival in order to seek out some real suspense. That is, the location of the Dutch Schultz Treasure.

Little do they know but another writer, a beautiful and talented author of true crime stories, will tail them all the way upstate. When she finally connects with them, she reveals her personal connection to the Schultz treasure which purportedly contains a fistful of priceless blue diamonds that were transported to America back in the mid-1800s by slaves. Slaves who, it turns out, were her great, great, grandparents.

Armed with a map carved into the back of a man’s skull, and having to fight off a team of very crooked and greedy Russians who are also seeking out the treasure, Chase and his team of literary irregulars land themselves into a heap of trouble and hair-raising adventures that promise to put them not only in prison, but in the hospital.
