A forged coin. A missing collector. A killer closing in.
When Mrs Dillon, the formidable matriarch of the quiet village of Knocknaclogga, asks Trout and Lauren of TLCI Investigations to look into a series of unsettling incidents that are causing her to doubt her capabilities, it seems like a simple case. But what starts as a routine investigation soon takes a dangerous turn when there is what may be an actual attempt on Mrs Dillon’s life.
Then the discovery of a coin in the woods plunges Trout and Lauren into the shadowy world of rare coins, forgery, and obsessive collectors who will stop at nothing to possess a legendary golden coin, the Double Eagle.
Soon they find themselves attracting the attention of powerful forces — including the CIA — who are hunting the same prize, and the person who has killed to possess it.
As the stakes rise and their adversary becomes more desperate, Trout and Lauren must uncover the truth before more lives are lost.
IS THE COIN REAL, A FAKE OR A MYTH?
EITHER WAY, SOMEONE IS WILLING TO KILL FOR IT.
