Avery Turner is on top of the world after helping design and create a reservation application, that paired with her former best friend’s company, turn the two into instant billionaires. After moving her way south to the keys, Turner is embracing the retired life for someone who has decades remaining. Unbeknownst to Turner, she teams up with a very influential social media superstar to learn to scuba dive, while also fending off potential lawsuits from the company that previously purchased her app.
Carter Mosely is a danger seeking thrill master who has been giving Avery lessons when Turner get a call that her best friend and former business partner was found deceased in a Boston area slum hotel. Turner quickly jets to the Northeast with her current assistant and former Detective ‘Harry’. What she finds is suspicious conditions surrounding the death of Mark Hawkins which hits drastically hard but with that comes the opportunity of a lifetime. Mark was on to something major, and it involves lost Confederate treasure worth billions that never made it to safety.
Teaming with Carter and Harry, Avery turns super sleuth to nibble on the breadcrumbs of history to find the final resting place of the Generals Gold. Battling through numerous hurdles while trying to find clues from Maine to the South Carolina coast, Turner and team need to watch their back at every turn as the treasure is surely worth killing for.
Walker and Coffin build an epic story involving one successful woman and her desire to find justice. The energy in their writing increases throughout as the search for long lost treasure continues. The misdirection and clues provided will lock you in while Turner and Mosely are on their adventure. Turner and Mosely have something going on, almost imperceptible at times but Walker and Coffin do a great job of not making that the priority in this storyline. Turner is a very methodical individual who prioritizes the truth in clearing her friends name while being the best version of herself. She’s not a John Wick type character, but she’s clearly able to take care of herself.
Mosely is a great supporting character providing wittiness and a slightly more relaxed attitude which blend well with Turner and Harrison. The action scenes are solid with bad guys who clearly are in it with nothing to lose.
The General’s Gold takes you on a fun and spirited search for unfathomable riches in dangerous fashion. This unique team is motivated not by greed but in the hunt itself, in hopes that it will shed some light on the death of a close friend.
