Adirondack Treasure - The Bonaparte Legacy

Author, Matthew J. Glavin, takes the true story of Joseph Bonaparte, former King of Spain, and spins a compelling story about a legend that has been rumored in the Adirondack Mountains for more than 180 years.

Adirondack Treasure – The Bonaparte Legacy is more than a thrilling historical novel. It’s a compelling page turner. You won’t be able to put it down because you need to know the truth.

Joseph Benton has a 200 year old bible handed down from his famous ancestor Joseph Bonaparte, the former King of Spain and older brother to Napoleon. Inside the bible is a cipher that family legend says leads to a magnificent treasure stolen from the Spanish Royal Treasury when King Joseph fled Spain.

This exciting treasure hunt blends historical facts with a terrific story and complex characters creating tension pitting environmentalist vs. developer and friend vs. friend.

The search involves riddles and ciphers and leads to murder, romance and intrigue that will keep you up at night wondering yourself . . . could the legend be true?

The former King owned 150,000 acres surrounding what today is known as Lake Bonaparte, in upstate New York. The story takes the reader from Lake Bonaparte to Cranberry Lake, Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake and Lake Placid.

The author, Matthew J. Glavin, is retired and lives in Cranberry Lake, New York. His website is www.adirondacktreasurebooks.com.

Scheduled for release in e-format on November 15, 2011 by Xlibris Publishing, Adirondack Treasure – The Bonaparte Legacy is available for $9.99 at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com/Nook, and other e-book outlets. Print books will be released in 2012.
