Glitter and Gold

AFTER HER MOTHER'S DEATH, DELANEY BYRNE FACES ESCALATING DEBTS AND A SISTER TO SUPPORT.

Their home is burglarized, hinting at her mother's obsession with a hidden treasure in Arizona's mountains. When her estranged best friend, Joss, proposes one final treasure hunt, Delaney is skeptical but desperate.

As they delve into the wilderness, Delaney and Joss navigate a maze of old betrayals and hidden dangers. Each clue they uncover draws them closer to the treasure but deeper into risk. Delaney vows not to repeat her mother's mistakes, but the mountain's perils are relentless, and trust is scarce.

Blending the gripping suspense of Erica Ferencik's The River at Night with the psychological depth of Andrea Bartz's We Were Never Here, Glitter & Gold is a tale of survival, secrets, and the lengths we go to for family and fortune.

"Readers who brave the adventurous wilderness of Beissel's suspenseful, twisty tale will be richly rewarded."-Sara Flannery Murphy, author of The Wonder State
