Одна тайна может изменить судьбу нации... Скелет конфедератского солдата, спрятанный глубоко в Парижских катакомбах. Легенда о давно пропавшем сокровище Конфедерации. Ветхий клочок бумаги с надписью "Berceau de solitude" - "Колыбель уединения".
Чистая случайность привела археолога Анну Крид в Париж как раз тогда, когда были найдены кости солдата. Но это был не простой солдат - он был хранителем сокровища, которое могло повлиять на исход Американской революции. Где-то ждет своего часа это сокровище.
Теперь Анна пытается разгадать 150-летнюю тайну и следует по цепочке улик, которая приведет ее через океан в самое сердце Старого Юга. Но она не единственная, кто ищет это сокровище. Кто-то другой тоже хочет заполучить его любой ценой, даже ценой человеческих жизней...
Cradle of Solitude by Alex Archer
If this novel is unfamiliar to you, here is a synopsis:
One mystery could rewrite the future of a country...the decayed remains of a Confederate soldier deep within the vaults of Paris.
The rumor of a lost Confederate hoard. A tattered scrap of paper bearing only the writing "Berceau De Solitude - Cradle Of Solitude". It was pure dumb luck really, Annja Creed being in Paris when those bones were unearthed. Yet, this man was not any ordinary soldier - he is the custodian of a fortune that would have affected the revolution's outcome in the United States. Somehow, treasure still awaits a finder.
Annja now unravels a 16th Century mystery, tracking clues which will lead both her and her opponent across oceans, deep into the Old South, but she is not the sole seeker after this fortune. Another rival - desperate enough to take up arms against any who oppose them - has joined the quest...and nobody wants a blood bath.
