Title: Discovery By Design
Description: **Not all who wander are lost. Some are hunting…**

Laura Evans has spent fifteen years perfecting the art of appreciating her rare time off.

A quiet Monday morning to herself suits her just fine, until her friend Jasmine drags her out of the warmth and into the cold for a geocaching expedition in the woods.

What begins as a fun treasure hunt becomes something worrying when vandalized caches threaten to shut down the beloved program. Someone is destroying the anonymous Cache Keeper’s literary prizes, and rumors whisper of a final treasure worth thousands. 

Determined to stop the vandal and prevent further damage, Laura and Jasmine unravel secrets hidden in book codes and boot prints, navigating grudges and desperate choices. 

Laura must solve the mystery before the program, and someone’s last hope, disappears forever.
