This special three-book bundle tells the story of the mystery of Oak Island, Nova Scotia, where, in 1795, three boys discovered the top of an ancient shaft. 200 years of courage, back-breaking effort, ingenuity and engineering skills have failed to retrieve what is concealed there. Theories of what the treasure could be include Captain Kidd's bloodstained pirate gold, an army payroll left by the French or British military engineers, priceless ancient manuscripts, the body of an Arif or other religious refugee leader or the lost treasure of the Templars. Lionel and Patricia Fanthorpe tell the entire story over the centuries and offer their own theories on the truth, while Lee Lamb tells the personal story of the Restalls, who spent six tragic years attempting to solve the mystery on their own.
