Race for a Treasure

Molly Coolridge, a retired Englishwoman, receives a diary that tells how her husband's ancestor was the captain of the British ship that sunk this Spanish treasure ship off Canada's West Coast in 1811, reporting treasure aboard. Is this true? Has anyone found it yet? All questions she and her son ask themselves as they begin an archival search in England and Spain to find out more. Amy, an outgoing history teacher from Victoria, BC, comes into their lives along with many other interesting characters as their search takes them to Spain, Portugal and then to Barkley Sound in the Ucluelet area of Vancouver Island, Canada. With such international and historical flavour, a delightful story and enjoyable characters, 'Treasure' will not disappoint Robert and Joyce's fans (teen to adult). With 'Treasure' they add a new sense of drama and intrigue to their repertoire, not previously seen in their earlier books. FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS of their 2nd Gold Medal winner in their ghost/time travel novel, Whispers Across Time, this winning husband and wife team again join forces to use their love of history and genealogy to weave a fascinating and exciting adventure/mystery of a lost 18th century Spanish treasure ship. Utilizing some well-known facts concerning the Spanish and their recent claims to discovered treasure, the authors weave an entertaining tale of modern treachery, romance and mystery as two conniving factions 'Race For A Treasure.'
