Description

The Sun, The Glass, and The Leaning Rock(Volume 1 in the Florea/Holland Mystery Series, & also published as 'A Second Chance')... 'The Sun, The Glass, and The Leaning Rock' (Aslo available in larger print as, 'A Second Chance') is a daring tale of high adventure, of friendships, of romance, of loyalties and betrayals, and of great personal danger in the lives of ordinary people. This tale combines a tricolor of excitement, yielding the grand adventure of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', the enchantment and humor of 'Romancing the Stone', and the suspenseful who-done-it of Sherlock Holmes--hang on tight! The story opens in the year 1984, but centers on the 1924 discovery of the 'Lost Dutchman's Mine' in Arizona, the inevitable misfortune of its discoverer, and the strange fate of the loot itself. A treasure map, an unusual necklace, and a simple nursery rhyme set the stage for double murder, betrayal, kidnapping, and unrelenting drama in this tale of the high desert. An unemployed ex-cop and his two friends become entwined in this adventure-mystery, which takes the reader from Boston to Arizona, from Ohio to California, and finally into the harsh, Nevada desert, where the good guys meet the bad guys in a final, head-on confrontation. Both want to unlock the treasure's secret--'the sun, the glass, and the leaning rock, tell you when it's four o' clock.'If you're ready to jump out of an airplane on a foggy night, hopefully land unscathed in rugged terrain, repel from a high cliff on a short rope, take an eerie night stroll across miles of barren desert, find your way through an unyielding sandstorm, escape a deadly confrontation with rattlesnakes, pass through the turbulent waters of a flash flood, leap from a high-rolling flatcar on a train ride to terror, and in the meantime solve all the 'who-done-it' before the astonishing climax--then you are more than welcome to the millions in gold that lay hidden within a dark, abandoned void, somewhere near Ely, Nevada.

  • Makes James Bond movies seem like totaly real occurrences!
What a silly book. The characters range from the sublime to the ridiculous. Things that happen are not even remotely possible, and defy all logic. I literally shook my head at some of the wildly unlikely events that occurred and the ridiculous logic that 'explained' them. Still, I enjoyed this book and kept turning pages, not knowing if I should laugh or just enjoy. ... show more

  • Misspellings distracted from a good yarn
This is a fast-paced tale that held my interest, although much of the dialogue lacked aural authenticity. The book purports to be a true story, including photos of the actual characters, but if the author's share of the lost gold was actually $50 million it seems he could have hired a professional editor/proofreader. It wouldn't have cost anymore to dress up the interior layout, but there is no excuse for using the wrong homonym at least six times even if spelled correctly. And creating plurals with an "apostrophe s" is a grade school mistake. ... show more

  • Prepare for Adventure!
I loved it! It had me at chapter 1. The author's attention to detail and his descriptive writing style put you in the middle of the action. I was surprised by the twist at the end!I can't wait to continue the series!
