A Billie Walker Mystery
When a small plane crashes in the Mississippi woods carrying a cargo of priceless Native American artifacts, FBI Special Agent Billie Walker uncovers far more than a smuggling operation—she discovers a deadly secret buried for generations.

A crashed plane. Stolen treasures. A murder that reaches back forty years. The investigation leads Billie to Sub Rosa, a grand plantation house hiding a chamber filled with looted grave goods worth millions. But the beautiful antique dealer who owns it claims ignorance, and the man running the operation has vanished into thin air. As Billie digs deeper, she finds herself racing against time to stop a sophisticated smuggling network that spans from Mississippi burial mounds to New Orleans' elite collectors. With FBI Agent Rick Morrison—whose brother died in that plane crash—at her side, she must navigate a web of false identities, offshore accounts, and decades of systematic cultural theft. Then they find the body.

Marie Tregre, a crusading art historian, lies dead in an old cistern, wearing artifacts stolen from the graves of ancestors. Her own brother—one of New Orleans' most respected collectors—may have ordered her death to protect his empire built on stolen heritage. **From the author of [YOUR OTHER BOOKS] comes a gripping thriller that explores the dark world of artifact smuggling, where greed destroys history and those who seek the truth pay the ultimate price.

Perfect for fans of Nevada Barr, CJ Box, and Craig Johnson, THE CURSED CACHE combines pulse-pounding suspense with a deep respect for Native American culture and the ongoing fight to protect sacred sites from looters. In this case, the past won't stay buried—and neither will the truth.
