So, what was the actual treasure and if worth millions. why did this author not keep it for himself?
I recall hearing about this maybe five years ago.
Some fellow had lost his life in pursuit of this treasure.
Maybe it was a box full of gold bullion, doubloons and krugerrand. Oh, and an unopened bottle of champagne.
The author made many millions, and set up this treasure hunt as a thrill for readers. I think it’s a great story.
He was a successful author and probably didn't need the money and this gave him a real life treasure and mystery to be involved in.
