| Publisher Description: A coin. A friendship. A fast car. And a girl with a secret. Author Sneed B. Collard III puts them together to create the heart-pounding sequel to Double Eagle. Two summers after Mike and Kyle uncovered a pair of priceless $20 gold pieces in a Civil War fort in Alabama, Mike is astounded to find Kyle show up on his doorstep in a souped-up 1957 Bel Air. Mike hasn�t heard from his friend in two years, but when Kyle invites him to ride up to Birmingham to see Kyle�s sister Annie, Mike doesn�t hesitate. What Mike doesn�t realize is that Kyle isn�t going to see his sister. He is going to rescue her. For Kyle and Annie to escape somewhere safe, however, they�re going to need cash and lots of it. When Mike tells them of a mysterious silver dollar that could be worth a fortune, it launches the trio on a cross-country thrill ride and a new coin quest�a quest that just could save Kyle�s and Annie�s lives. |
