\\u2060Buried Pirate Treasure and a Wisecracking Heroine Lead to Romance, Adventure and\\nMurder in Prohibition-Era Long Island!\\u2060

\\n\\xa0\\n

Wisecracking Jane Teach had pirate blood, a\\ntake-charge attitude, and a penchant for sticking her nose in the wrong places.\\nSober-minded Bill Popple was from one of Long Island\'s first families, a\\nconservative-minded young man who walked the straight and narrow. When they met\\nit was loathing at first sight, definitely not a match made in heaven. But with\\nsix people trying to kill them over a dead bootlegger\'s lost fortune and a\\npirate\'s treasure secretly buried three hundred years ago, they both needed\\neach other.

\\n\\xa0\\n

First Bill Popple, the muscular serious-minded\\nresearch student, unearths information which makes the odds high in favor of\\npirate gold being hidden long ago on what is now Hartman\'s property. Then Jane\\nTeach, the streamlined girl of ready wit, who seems to know more than Bill does\\nabout almost everything, suggests that there may be not one treasure but two,\\nthe first one part of her ancestor\'s lost loot, the second a bootlegger\'s\\nill-gotten gains. Next, Jane and Bill discover a corpse lying on a beach near Oxbow\\nBay with gold pieces sunk into its eye sockets.

\\n\\xa0\\n

Soon the pair find themselves up to their necks in\\nmystery and dark doings involving the heterogeneous group of strangers who have\\nappeared suddenly in town to wait and watch for ... what? From then on, Jane and\\nBill never experience a dull moment.

\\n\\xa0\\n

How they extricate themselves, and at the same\\ntime solve two deep mysteries, adds up to an absorbing novel of skullduggery\\nand sudden death in which excitement and romance mount to an increasingly high\\npitch and culminate in a wholly satisfying climax.
