Present Time
Keiko Zorben an intern at the Smithsonian Institute, archives a child's scrapbook from the late 1800s. Inside, she finds a treasure map. Realizing that the map is older than the book, and not drawn by a child, Keiko and Dr. Julian Lone Wolf travel to the exotic islands off Costa Rica to hunt for the Devonshire Treasure. However, modern day pirates discover Keiko and Lone Wolf have the key to the tons of gold they've been searching for.
From the missing star of the Star Spangled Banner and the War of 1812 in The 15th Star, to the pirates roaming the shipping lanes pillaging goods, gold, and silver in True Treasure, Lisa Grace explores a turbulent yet enthralling time in history, the early 1800s, in her real-life history mystery novels.
Enjoy as a stand-alone or as part of Keiko and Julian's continuing romance.
