The Gordian Knots: The Case of Napoleon's Lost Gold
Secrets. Spirits. A Stolen Treasure.
On December 9, 1969, two women were brutally murdered in the quiet town of
St. Charles, Missouri. Seven-year-old Claire Whitmore lived across the street.
She saw a man enter her neighbor's house, but the killer was never found.
Thirty years later, Claire remains the only possible witness. A medical
professional living in New Orleans, she'd put that night behind her until
Detective Gordon Williams calls with an unusual Will she undergo
hypnosis to help solve this case?
As her past resurfaces, the line between memory and reality begins to blur. The
murdered women show themselves to Claire. First in dreams, then in waking
moments, forcing Claire to confront what she must do to bring them closure.
With the help of a psychic, her best friend, and a band of unlikely allies, Claire
embarks on a journey for answers. Together, they uncover secret societies,
hidden descendants of Napoleon Bonaparte, and a century-old treasure tied to
the unsolved murders.
Inspired by a true story, "The Gordian The Case of Napoleon's Lost
Gold" is a haunting mystery where the past refuses to rest and the dead may
hold the key to catching a killer.

Great easy summer read! Claire is the perfect protagonist and the author is able to help us feel empathy while supporting Claire to find her power. The characters are well defined and I enjoyed the introduction of the antagonist and how the story evolved. I didn’t want to let go of some of these characters so hoping for a sequel or possible series. I will be following this author in order to receive new possible releases.
