HIDING TREE - A NOVEL IN THREE CENTURIES

Last year Stephen Ambrose published his runaway best-seller NOTHING LIKE IT IN THE WORLD, detailing the heroism of those who built the Transcontinental Railroad.
Clive Cussler found the Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley and raised it intact after 136 years under the sea.
While these two famous authors were at work, LAURA KAHL was doing the intense computer research necessary to find her own pot of Civil War treasure from the Transcontinental Railroad - AND SHE KEPT IT ALL!

Laura Kahl is a computer executive - she's been a rising star for eleven years, but now she can't seem to do anything right. So her boss calls her in for a little chat: Improve, Laura, or you're out of your job.
In the middle of all this, Laura's great aunt dies and leaves her a modest inheritance along with a puzzling note - "You were always our smart one, Laura, maybe you can do more with this than Dad and I did."
Always a plunger, she accepts the inheritance challenge while struggling to save her career.
Super-talented friends help to unravel a Civil War mystery. There's Pablo Beckman, a wealthy retired attorney, and Bo Didier, a young computer genius: together the unlikely pair find a faint trail back through centuries to a very different time and place. Murderous rivals track their every move. Laura's life is on the line. Innocent friends are badly injured. Now she would go back if she could, but that's out of the question. She fights deadly enemies as she's never fought before - while facing unpleasant truths about her own motivation.
HIDING TREE is a novel about a female executive, glass ceilings, and long odds. Wonderfully crafted and absolutely terrifying, it's all here: a computer based treasure hunt, romance, erotic nights, tragedy,skull-duggery, ante-bellum courtrooms, and a life that can never be the same. A one-sitting page turner you'll want to read from cover to cover. Available at most on-line booksellers.
