Hanging Rock — Robert W. Callis

A chance discovery of a dusty leather-bound notebook hidden in the wall of an old Illinois farm house being demolished sets off a treasure hunt in South Carolina. Kit Andrews and Swifty Olsen set out for South Carolina in a search for Confederate gold buried in February of 1865 using a notebook and map made by Kit's great-great grandfather who served with the 102nd Illinois Infantry regiment in the Civil War under General Sherman. Their serach accidentally uncovers a smuggling operation and they are faced with desperate criminals who will kill to protect their operation.
