About the Book

Dr. George Ames notices an unusual gold coin in a necklace worn by Dr. Nancy Alvarez. On closer examination, he identifies it as a rare, pre-Civil War California Territorial gold coin. Nancy tells the ever-curious George that it was a gift from her former graduate assistant at the University of New Mexico, Anita Two Crows. George, aware of legends about lost Confederate gold buried in the Arizona desert, immediately thinks: "Where there's one coin, there may be more." His collector's instinct immediately kicks in, and he quickly surmises it might be part of a fabled hoard of lost Confederate gold. Once again George enlists the aid of his friends who had been involved in The Volsung Project and No Loose Ends. The serendipitous discovery of an old diary and a 19th century bible found in an old trunk at the Alvarez ranch in Texas leads the cast of characters on a series of discoveries as the author spins an exciting and convoluted tale. Full of unexpected twists and turns, The Deacon Affair: A Quest for Lost Confederate Gold is resolved in a most unusual way with an unexpected surprise conclusion. Robert Corwin attended Wake Forest College and Duke University School of Medicine. After completing his military service as Chief of Urology at Valley Forge General Hospital in 1968, he moved to Waco, Texas with his wife and first daughter. He actively pursued a private practice for 40 years, and added a son and another daughter to his family. He has had a lifelong interest in American History with special emphasis in the fields of military medicine, surgery, and weapons. He has been a frequent lecturer for local schools, clubs, and organizations, including Baylor University's Institute of Lifelong Learning. A gifted storyteller he has written three novels. The first two, The Volsung Project and No Loose Ends, dealt with the die-hard, post WWII Nazis attempting to build a Fourth Reich. In his third novel, The Deacon Affair: A Quest for Lost Confederate Gold, Corwin switches gears. This book is set in the American Southwest. No longer searching for Nazis, the characters are trying to solve a mystery that has baffled historians since the Civil War. Visit bobcorwinbooks.com for more information.
