While some of these tales of treasure hunts might seem the stuff of legend, could there be more to them? 32 stories of reward, riches, greed, and ruin are collected in Lost Loot: Cursed Treasures and Blood Money, including …
Curses, deaths, and centuries old treasure on Oak Island
Searchers hunted down and killed before finding a gangster’s stolen riches
The eternal quest for D.B. Cooper and his hijack ransom
Elaborate booby traps protecting ill-gotten gains
Cursed Aztec wealth lost as it journeyed to Spain
Mysterious caves holding secrets in the Grand Canyon
The train-robbing Robin Hood myth of the Sam Bass Gang
Daniel Boone and the lost silver mine
Civil War coins hurriedly stashed after a brutal reign of terror
And the stories of dozens of other doomed pursuits of plundered riches.
Tales of bewitching riches and hunts gone wrong, yet hope springs eternal. Lost Loot unfolds like a treasure map—but beware of the hidden, deadly obstacles!
