When Gideon discovers a mysterious drawing tucked in an old journal he returns to his mission area in Jamaica with dreams of finding a legendary treasure. Some would kill to keep the treasure secret. This thrilling adventure takes you deep into Jamaica’s treacherous cockpit country and back in time for a spine-tingling mystery you won’t be able to put down.

Gideon has recently returned home from an LDS mission to Jamaica. He is in possession of an old journal written years ago by Lieutenant Benjamin Jarvis. He comes across a symbol he recognizes and has a burning desire to learn more about it, no matter what it may cost him personally.

This book alternated between Lt. Jarvis's journal and Gideon's life. It was interesting to read Lt. Jarvis's experiences and the twists and turns his life took. Gideon was determined to learn more about the symbol and there were also twists and turns throughout his journey. I felt like I was there with him. There were some heart pounding moments, and at times I wasn't sure who I could trust. I loved the way this was written and it drew me in from the beginning. I had no idea how this would end and loved how the author wrapped the story up! I'm looking forward to reading more from this author in the future!
