In 1765, Capitan Juan Rivera and a company of men left Santa Fe with orders to find a route into what is now Colorado, to look for gold and silver. He made two trips, found a little silver, and was largely forgotten by history.
Over 250 years later, a leather-bound journal is discovered. It claims Rivera wasn’t so much forgotten as he had chosen to disappear. He had plans—plans disrupted by a Comanche raid, but not before Rivera hid gold near present day Piedras Coloradas National Park.
In Mexico, a butterfly biologist is murdered. That same night, an archeologist was killed near the park. Nothing suggested the murders—miles apart—are connected. They are.
These and other events, seemingly unconnected, put Ranger Jack Chastain on a quest for answers.
