Spanish Pieces of Eight: From the grave Richard Dennison catapults his squabbling four children into a hunt for a vast treasure-trove of Spanish gold and silver coins. Can they discover a fortune or do the clues evade them and the prize lost forever?
The Silicon Valley marketing wiz and worldwide sailor dies hours before he is set to undo a complicated and family-busting competition for a vast treasure trove of Spanish gold and silver in the British Virgin Islands. Spoiled and self-centered, his children try to unwind the clues to the proverbial “pot of gold.” The family lawyer, Bill Price, acquired Richard’s diary only to page through it every evening providing the complete backstory of Richard’s life….and the key to the treasure. Money, greed, and deep rifts in the family structure highlight this riveting story.
