The Gorkha Urn


   

The Gorhka Urn

by Matthew S Friedman
 


 About this Book

Three unsuspecting, teenage boys on overnight fishing trip in one of the West Virginia's largest parks, accidentally stumble onto the corpse of Robert Carter, a highly respected antique dealer from New York City. In an effort to uncover the bizarre circumstances surrounding his mysterious death, the boys embark on an adventure which unwittingly pulls them deeply into a tangled web of murder, lies and deceit.

The twisted trail of clues takes them down a path which revolves around a priceless religious object stolen from Nepal, known as the "Gorkha Urn"; a crooked defense dealer seeking to use this object to acquire a lucrative contract in the Near East; and a beautiful ex-Peace Corps volunteer whose role in all of this remains a mystery until the very end.

The climax to The Gorkha Urn will shock and intrigue you. For the reader seeking suspense and adventure with edge-of-the-seat excitement, this novel is for you.
