Description
Imagine digging a hole in the sand during your summer vacation at the beach and finding a trunk that’s been buried there since World War II. The past and the present converge when two cousins, who are playing in the sand at Bethany Beach, Delaware on a bright summer morning, discover the decades-old trunk. The discovery forever changes their lives. This thriller for the young-at-heart is rich with the history of German U-boat warfare off the Mid-Atlantic seacoast, the intrigue of stolen identities, and a collection of mysterious photographs from the past. Readers will love getting to know the woman who lived in Rose Cottage during the war years with her dogs Licorice and Vanilla. Who will solve the mystery of the unknown person who left a fortune for the ages buried in the dunes? After so much time has passed, will it even be possible to uncover the truth of who abandoned the SECRET IN THE SAND?
