Ripple: The Search for the Lost Treasure of Pooh (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781482741773)

In the waning days of the '60s, a legendary figure of the counterculture is arrested by rogue elements of the DEA, but not before burying a treasure somewhere in Golden Gate Park. After six years in prison, he dies in his sleep, having never revealed to anyone the location of the treasure. His untimely death leads to the discovery of a mysterious map by his young cellmate, Dakota, who is subsequently released from prison; a move orchestrated by a shadowy figure intent on claiming the treasure for himself. With no knowledge of the treasure or how to decipher the map, Dakota returns to the life he loves and the girl he left behind. For the past five years, his memories of Delila were all that sustained him, and he's unprepared for what he finds. To save Delila and reclaim his life, Dakota must find the treasure and use its contents to set a trap for the forces aligned against him. With only a mysterious map of The Hundred Aker Wood to guide him, Dakota is forced to engage in a high stakes scavenger hunt that draws together an eclectic cast of characters whose individual stories reveal clues to an elusive treasure. At its core, Ripple is a love story wrapped in a fast paced mystery/thriller. But it's more than that: it's a thought provoking story of a young man's struggle to rediscover his passion and break free of a past that's indelibly linked to the opposing stories of a corrupt DEA agent and a self-diluted hippie radical, whose lives have become irreconcilable with the dreams of their youths and stand as a clear warning to anyone sleepwalking through life in shoes that don't fit.
