"This is the fourth book in the Traces of Treasures series, and, like the first three, it did not disappoint! Sam and Smidgeon, along with their friends, are at it again on the hunt for a treasure, but who's the true owner of the much sought after cache? Friendship and faith collide with evil as the mystery unravels in this page turning story."

"Whose treasure is it? How can it be found? Who knows the secret to finding something buried centuries before? Who will live to uncover the truth? Who is scamming whom? Hang on tight, this down home mystery has Sam and company up to their pickaxes in deceit and the supernatural and you are going to love it as old friends return, once again"

"(Fenske) writes a tight, intriguing story set in the desert southwest-or as we know it, God's Country. His characters are contrary but honest, and his background and scenic descriptions are spot-on. The addition of mystical and possibly unhappy spirits is an added bonus. Mixed into Penumbra is a posse of good friends, conscientious law enforcement, polite, helpful people, and excellent food-I enjoyed that part of traveling back in the day. You will, too. And the bad guys are satisfyingly bad. Definitely a win-win novel."
