Randall Probert

A Quandry at Knowles Corner Randall Probert 2nd edition

Bill and Gus Hastings had hoped for a big catch on this fishing trip. A big enough catch, and they would be set for the season. They never imagined it would be their last fishing trip, that the storm would take their boat and leave them in a lifeboat, headed for a remote island off the coast of Maine. They never imagined the buried treasure they would discover, and how their lives would instantly change. Out of fear of being found by those who buried it, the brothers secretly move their families to the unsettled woods of northern Maine. They hide the treasure, never telling their families, for fear they might expose the secret. Duty calls, and the brothers go off to war?the war of 1812?and the secret of the treasure goes with them. Game Warden Ian Randall loves his job and he takes it very seriously. He?ll go to great lengths to catch a night hunter, someone illegally trapping, or help rescue a lost hiker. It?s all part of the job that can be so rewarding, but it has also cost him a lot. He is torn with the thought of retiring, giving up the excitement of ?the game? for a more stable life. While deciding, he looks after his territory with great pride?a territory that includes a long-deserted settlement at Hastings Brook.
