Let me blow a trumpet for the latest book I've published

The Treasure Hunter of Santiago

Napolean's armies are on the move over Spain and Portugal, looting and pillaging, but because of an unexpected forced retreat, the treasure must be cast aside to lighten the load..... or perhaps it can be buried, to be retrieved later, when the fortunes of war turn again?

The men who buried it are now dead, but one of them passed on the location of the treasure to a companion.... and the French armies never returned.

This is the story of the man who brought such a tale to a Spanish Government in desperate need of money, and obtained the support of the Minister of Finance for an expedition to retrieve the fortune buried by Napolean's retreating armies.

It examines carefully the origins of the treasure, and whether it's possible that, if it ever existed, it's still there.... waiting for someone to find it.

A fascinating tale of 19th Century Spain and Portugal, with an intriguing explanation for why the treasure hasn't been discovered.... yet.

Available in Hardback (£20), Paperback (£10), and as a special introductory offer, as a well-formatted, DRM-free, Kindle ebook for just $0.99/£0.74

For Kindle at Amazon UK: £0.74
For Kindle at Amazon US: $0.99

That's only about 7% of the cost of the paperback!
