Buried Under The Family Tree

About the Book

When Max set out to discover his family roots, he had no inkling that he was about to embark on an unbelievable adventure. Who could have guessed that researching one’s genealogy, a seemingly innocuous pastime, could have such dangerous, even life-threatening consequences? The whole experience taught him one important lesson: One should not be overly greedy in his/her quest for family treasure.

Max and Lucy, a retired couple, were in no way prepared for their first encounter with the convicted ax murderer. Would Max’s later alliance with his long-time friend Johnny prove to be the solution for bringing this hair-raising adventure to a successful conclusion?
