Opis

Sibley's Secret tells a tale of mystery, romance, murder, and corruption spanning a century, across two continents. It starts in Russia with the brutal fall of the Russian monarchy, continuing to modern-day America. Loves are found, lost, and refound, while searching for the missing treasure of an entire nation, lost for almost a century. The enormous gold stockpile of the Russian monarchy disappeared in the final days of the October Revolution. For almost 100 years, treasure hunters, adventurers, and governments have spent millions chasing clues to its hiding place, leaving a trail of death and corruption across two continents. The legend of Kolchak's Gold has ignited passions across generations. Few facts are known, other than that the gold was in the possession of Admiral Kolchak, the Supreme White Russian Ruler of Siberia, during his failed attempt in 1920 to escape the Red Army, using the Trans-Siberian Railroad, which was under U.S. Army escort. The gold weighed tons and was hidden in American Army containers, marked for return to a National Guard Armory in Michigan. Kolchak was captured and executed during the journey, but the gold stayed on the train and was never seen again. Has it been found? The prospect of such enormous wealth impacts the lives of everyone even tangentially and unknowingly involved.
