But it turns out that one man may have already found it.
Hunter Pierce, raised in a rural area of southern Alabama, has mysteriously built a lucrative career on Wall Street. He's young. He's smart. He's ambitious. And he has his whole future ahead of him.
One night everything changes.
Locked in a treacherous game with ruthless killers and embroiled in a treasure hunt of epic proportions, Hunter is reunited with his two childhood friends--Brian and Camilla--who unexpectedly find themselves coaxed into this pulse-pounding adventure.
Unsure who is friend or foe, Hunter returns to Waterhole Branch--where his survival hinges on outsmarting the bad guys, masterminding an escape, and putting his trust in an unlikely source.

Review:
In one of my favorite movies, Sweet Home Alabama, the lead character portrayed by Reece Witherspoon states 'You need a passport to come down here", and those who venture and return home to parts deep in the South will agree with that statement, as in many ways, the South is still it's own entity within the borders of the US. Add in the Spanish and French history, and you have the perfect setting for treasure and ghost tales, such as in this book! Add in a modern take on human trafficng, and a decent thriller of a mystery, and this debut novel will keep you turning the pages! Wright handles the flashbacks so well, that you almost don't want to return to the current state in the book! For those looking for a modern take on Southern gothic, give this book a look, you won't be sorry!
