INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“A rip-roaring page turner. A perfect read!” – Boston Globe

Meet the Pratt clan. Driven men. Determined women. Through six turbulent generations, they would pursue a lost Paul Revere treasure. And turn a family secret into an obsession that could destroy them. Here is the novel that launched William Martin’s astonishing literary career and became an instant bestseller. From the grit and romance of old Boston to exclusive — and dangerous — Back Bay today, this sweeping saga paints an unforgettable portrait of a powerful dynasty beset by the forces of history…and a heritage of greed, lust, murder and betrayal.

Genre:

  • Mystery & Thriller
  • Fiction
  • Mystery & Detective
  • Historical

  • "A rip-roaring page turner. A perfect read!"
    Boston Globe
  • "Spellbinding...Ingenious."
    Cincinnati Enquirer
  • "Marvelous...captures the reader from page one and holds to the explosive ending."
    King Features Syndicate
  • "Martin's first novel is a clever and entertaining blend of history, family, saga, and mystery."

    Publishers Weekly
  • "Martin has carefully researched the topography of old Boston and tidily balances his inventive plot with narrow escapes and stopwatch action, including a subway tunnel dig and shootout...a bracing brew for long cold nights"
    Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

A native Californian, Bill graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in electronic engineering. After four years as a research scientist for the U.S. Navy, Bill returned to graduate school, earning a master’s degree from Western Theological Seminary in Holland, Michigan. He did not find himself fitting within the traditional clergy structure, so, guided by his love of the Tao Te Ching, he began to seek his own way. He has been a student and teacher of the Tao for more than four decades and has published many books on the subject, including the popular, Parent’s Tao Te Ching. Bill now lives in southern Arizona with his spouse, Nancy. He continues to teach classes and work with private students.
