Description: The second Nicaraguan campaign has entered the final stages in the early 1930´s, with the death of nationalist leader Augusto César Sandino. A sudden and unexpected turn of events, is about to set the region aflame once again. In the wings stand the U.S. navy with sleek four-stack destroyers and the marines, two smugglers Baines and Joe, men of the coast, and a cargo of munitions and weapons. These men stand against a growing American presence in the region, the uncharted coast and the sea itself. 
Joe still searches for the forgotten treasure of the coast, long hidden in legend and mystery. He needs Baines beside him because of his knowledge of the sea. Baines must leave behind the woman he met not long time ago. He has made a decision, to once again accompany Joe. Set against the sultry Caribbean, this story based on a true event of that time, is about to unfold. As you turn the pages, you will walk the shaded lanes of cobbled stone streets, of a forgotten town, lost amid the mist shrouded emerald green coast line, of Central America. You will meet the men and woman, who live in a time, lost in memories, shrouded in mist. 
Each page hold's a richness of pastel like softness, cast in crystal before your eyes. Let a distant point in time come to life once again, as you open the book, and then turn the pages. Hear the voices, their laughter of life, as it fills you with a renewed spirit, let tears of sadness and joy, touch your life, leaving it enriched with its lingering presence.
