The Beaton Path Alan Searle

John Beaton was not having a good day, and it only got worse after an event in a parking garage when he was almost killed. Four years later he thought he'd put the events behind him, but a chance encounter on the day of his retirement party makes him realize nothing is resolved. He begins to investigate what happened and discovers more than he bargained for. Does the tale of French treasure related by a disabled nursing home resident have any validity?Are there people really that evil?The story takes him from Washington State to Bulgaria and Belarus, as he unravels the truth behind a two-hundred-year-old tale of Napoleonic gold, and the modern day criminals who want it for themselves.
