Title: HIDDEN MICKEY 2
Subtitle: It All Started...
Description: *HIDDEN MICKEY 2: It All Started…* is the 2nd book in the Hidden Mickey series of action-adventure mysteries about Walt Disney and Disneyland®.

We recommend first reading Volume 1, Hidden Mickey: Sometimes Dead Men DO Tell Tales! first. However, should you decide to read this novel first, it stands on it's own very well. Written with the adult reader in mind (age appropriate 10 and up). 


**MISSING A CLUE LANCE STUMBLES ON A MYSTERIOUS RED GEMSTONE**


What was included in the set of instructions he was given by Walt just before he died?  Is there more to the Hidden Mickey quest than we were already shown?  A mysterious Red Diamond comes from the depths of the Jungle.


**WHAT IS THE POWER BEHIND THAT RED DIAMOND?**


Lance Brentwood, the spoiled bad-boy of Hidden Mickey, finds himself in an unfamiliar position—alone and at loose ends. Now, in an ironic twist of fate, Lance is the one at the receiving end of a .44 Magnum. 


**ONE CRYPTIC CLUE INVOLVES A MAN'S ENTIRE DESTINY**


When Lance awakens in an unknown location, he learns that the legacy Walt set in place is more far-reaching than he had ever imagined. Can Lance earn the trust of the Blond-Haired Man’s daughter, Kimberly, or does the feisty beauty have plans of her own?  The intrigue heats up when Lance has to team up with Kimberly as the two embark on an even wilder quest to unravel Walt Disney’s final clue and ultimately find the very treasure that helped Walt build the greatest entertainment company in the world.


**CRAIN STOPS AT NOTHING TO GAIN THAT POWER**


As the Blond-Haired Man’s chauffer, Daniel Crain was content to sit on the sidelines and live the easy life.  Seeing a chance to up the stakes, Crain will stop at nothing to step into the position of power he feels he has been deprived.  The only thing he sees standing in his way is Lance—and what appears to be a growing attachment between Lance and Kimberly.


**THEY ARE IN A LIFE-OR-DEATH RACE TO UNCOVER THE MYSTERY**


Who will win the battle for Walt’s legacy—the one man determined to preserve it or the other man determined to destroy it?  In what seems to be a no-way-out situation, Lance discovers there is far more to the Legacy of the great showman, Walt Disney, and is thrust into a life-or-death race to uncover what the Master Storyteller wants someone to find.
