Latest Description
There's treasure in Brewster on Cape Cod!

Will Nancy Caldwell and her niece Jane find it? Or is Max Appleton desperate enough to risk everything and uncover the riches first?

In her new historical fiction, The Old Cape Map, best-selling author Barbara Eppich Struna takes you from Cape Cod to Millbury, Massachusetts and back. With timelines in 1900 and present day, this adventure is filled with suspense, secrets, and Spanish gold. Honored with a Silver Award - Genre Fiction from IPNE.

"History meets mystery in this twisty page-turning tale, a suspenseful journey over the beaches, through the woodlands, and across the decades on old Cape Cod. We all know there's gold on that sandy peninsula. Let Barbara Eppich Struna and her beloved sleuth, Nancy Caldwell, lead you to it in The Old Cape Map.”
-- William Martin, New York Times Bestselling author, Cape Cod and December '41

“The Old Cape Cod Map by Barbara Struna is a gem of a book. Struna does a masterful job of weaving the stories of amateur sleuth Nancy Caldwell and her nieces with those of an immigrant Hungarian family at the turn of the century, shifting easily between the quiet back roads of Cape Cod and the burgeoning industrial area around Central Massachusetts.”
--Paul Kemprecos, New York Times Bestselling author
