A Box Of Rocks (Paperback)

Paperback. A Box Of RocksAn orphaned youth, under the strictures of a sealed adoption, is stunned by an unlooked for early inheritance, delivered in an old shoebox by way of a dying woman, even she won't speak of who he is.The bequest lies mostly undisturbed for half a century, until he and his wife decide to uncover just where the truth lies. What's intended to be a search for family, identity, leads instead to history, to events which are best left undisturbed.Before long, they discover themselves immersed in the odd, the unusual and the lethal, as their search tumbles its way across both a world and through its history.From America to Asia, Scotland to Saudi, they discover that old wounds can remain sore, old injuries never heal, the desire for vengeance never fade. That sometimes the only way to survive isn't to heal, but to destroy.From Nations to Nomads, there's a universal desire to bury these secrets, with any who carry them.Will these exceptional grandparents survive to uncover the perfidious events of anywhere up to century or more past, events that continue to shape our world.
