The Nez Perce Treasure (Paperback)

Paperback. The Nez Perce Treasure, by Dr. Tom Latham, expands the SHANE WOODS SERIES to six books. The story is rich with action, cultural encounters, and moments of self-discovery, all delivered with a wry sense of humor and a touch of spiritual reflection. When Loretta-who answers to Natasha, Linda, or Ginger depending on the day-wakes up as the reluctant cook on a Russian crab fishing vessel, she thinks her luck can't get any worse. She's wrong. With a past that includes a stint in prison, a failed robbery with a toy gun, and a family she's desperate to reunite, Loretta's journey is anything but ordinary. Stranded at sea with a crew that doesn't speak her language and a storm brewing on the horizon, she's forced to improvise, survive, and maybe even find redemption. But Loretta's story is just the beginning. Across the Pacific Northwest, a group of teens stumbles upon a mysterious Native American sketch that might just be a treasure map.
