Young history Professor Jack Turner is settling into his new position at Culpepper University, when he gets a surprise visit from his friend, police Sgt. Joe Boyd. Joe has started a new hobby, a fun pastime that’s also helping him lose some weight — metal detecting. Joe asks if he can do this on Jack’s lakefront property, which includes over a dozen acres of woods. Intrigued by a hobby that … combines physical exercise and Jack’s love of history, Jack asks to tag along. Neither man has any idea that this seemingly harmless hobby will cause their paths to cross with a 70-year-old mystery involving tragedy, smuggling, multiple murders and stolen Nazi loot. It’s just an innocent hobby Jack tells his wife, Rachel. Really, what could go wrong?

Love Dan Walsh books. They are always worth reading!
Interesting book and fun to read.
The whole series is great!
This book was extremely interesting, very well=written and enjoyable. I look for this author’s work in the future.
Stories like this really happened during ww2 days, quite the tale of events, yet the situation had dangerous results, but it was historical as well as a little scary. I like all of Dan’s books, a good author.
I’ve really enjoyed this series. It’s great to see the mix of mystery in the current time and the mystery from the past interconnect. Plenty of action and a edge-of-your-seat ending. The books could be read in any order it has been fun watching the lead characters grow and connect though.
Another amazing book from a gifted author!
This is a fascinating mystery and informative history lesson about things that happened at the end of WWII. The mystery is captivating, reuniting the reader with Joe Boyd and Jack Turner, and the town of Culpepper, Georgia. If a person hasn’t read other books in the series, no worries. This book can stand alone. I love the way the author combines history with a modern mystery!
Another excellent goodread from Dan Walsh. His expressive writing, imagination, and engaging characters combine to make Perilous Treasure a terrifying page turner. The hobby, metal detecting discovers the treasure, gold, jewelry and art dating back to WWII. Perilous in the title indicates trouble, leading Mr. Walsh to tell the treasure’s past and the horrible situation the finders face.
Past and present are tied together creating an exceptional story.
Once I read this book I sought out more by Dan Walsh. and enjoyed each one’s uniqueness. I have already recommended his books to several others

I really liked this book!
Nazi treasure buried in America. How many secrets are buried with it?
Tremendously enjoyed reading about the adventures of Jack Turner. He truly gets himself into trouble and finds some unusual ways for getting out of trouble. Truly is a page turner.
I love Dan Walch’s writing style. This book is historically interesting and a bit frightening. A real page Turner at times. I couldn’t put it down.
Well written, suspenseful and wonderful characters. I enjoyed learning about the metal detectors and how interesting the hobby can be.
Well written. Kept my interest throughout. A joy to read. Original and interesting plot.
Treasures from World War II are found in Georgia. How they got there and weren’t found until 70 years later is a story that will be difficult to put down.
