Treasure hunt

The Beacon Hill Affair

by

Beacon Hill is one of Boston’s exclusive inner-city residential neighborhoods, with rows of crowded city townhouses, private city homes and city mansions lined along narrow city streets. For Edward, life on Beacon Hill was simple and routine, aside from needing a financial opportunity to save his ever-loving skin. With every passing day he came closer to financial doom, until a mysterious woman from out of town enters into his life with claims of having information to a buried treasure chest, buried in a secret grave somewhere in an old colonial graveyard in downtown Boston, and with the promise of riches for whoever finds it.
Needing his help to locate the graveyard and the grave containing the treasure chest, she was willing to share the treasure with him. With only a few clues leading to where this old downtown Boston colonial graveyard and treasure chest could be, together they try solving the mystery to the secret buried treasure. Their journey begins on Beacon Hill and takes them into downtown Boston and to the national historic sites of “The Boston Freedom Trail.”
The Freedom Trail holds the secret to a buried treasure chest buried in 1775 during The American Revolutionary War, buried to hide it from the British and from George Washington’s Continental Army.
Together while solving the clues to the mystery of the buried treasure chest, the buzz of romance was in the air. But when things get complicated, he finds out she was hiding a secret. The romance that just began now begins to fall apart. Her only chance to prove she is sincere was to move to Beacon Hill. But the secret past tells a crafty tale and no one can change the past.

The Heretics’ Revenge (Bargain Book)

by

Condemned as heretics by the Catholic Church, the 13th-century Cathars are persecuted, tortured, and finally burned alive at Montségur. But according to legend they hide their riches and relic beyond the castle walls on the eve of their demise.
In the 1930s, Otto Rahn dedicates his life to recovering the long forgotten relic, and coerced by Himmler joins the SS to find the ‘Holy Grail’ for the Nazis. Exposed as both Jewish and homosexual, Rahn commits suicide. But not before he entrusts his notes to his niece. Notes that have never been found.
Seeking a challenge after retiring early, businessman Steve Jackson embarks on a modern-day search for the fabled Cathar cache. With French girlfriend, Manon Lubin, they locate Rahn’s abandoned clues in the Black Forest. The notes become a key to locating a religious discovery even greater than the Dead Sea Scrolls, and unleash a 750-year old time-capsule of revenge that threatens to shake the Church of Rome to its foundations. 
The massacre of the Cathars and the true story of Otto Rahn are interweaved and then continued with the fictional search for the treasure and relic. Rich in historical detail, this fascinating and absorbing story, set in France and London, climaxes with a thought-provoking and controversial conclusion that brings The Heretics’ Revenge.

Meet Martin Barrett

After reading about the treasure of Montsegur it was apparent that no one had written a complete account of events, and more particularly no one had imagined whether the treasure and relic could be located today. Even more importantly just what might that turn out to be? I was intrigued enough to make several research trips to Montsegur, Berlin, and other places. The result is a story with a mix of robust history and a very plausible religion-changing discovery.
