ABOUT THE BOOK

A suspenseful, female-driven adventure mystery set in the Arizona wilderness, Glitter & Gold explores friendship, betrayal, and a deadly treasure hunt--perfect for fans of Danielle Trussoni.

After her mother's death, Delaney Byrne faces escalating debts and a sister to support. Their home is burglarized, hinting at her mother's obsession with a hidden treasure in Arizona's mountains. When her estranged best friend, Joss, proposes one final treasure hunt, Delaney is skeptical but desperate.
As they delve into the wilderness, Delaney and Joss navigate a maze of old betrayals and hidden dangers. Each clue they uncover draws them closer to the treasure but deeper into risk. Delaney vows not to repeat her mother's mistakes, but the mountain's perils are relentless, and trust is scarce.

Blending the high-stakes intrigue of Jane Harper's The Dry with the atmospheric danger of Ruth Ware's The Lying Game, Glitter & Gold is an adventure mystery about survival, buried secrets, and the price of chasing fortune and family across unforgiving terrain.
