Years ago, Nicholas Armstrong’s quick thinking and rapid response would lead to the rescue of a child from an abandoned African diamond mine. His reward for the heroic act—two priceless diamonds given to him by the child’s grateful mother.

Years later, feeling his days drawing to an end, Nicholas reveals the secret location of the precious jewels to his kindhearted grandson, Peter Armstrong. Currently a college student in America, Peter’s love for his grandfather is genuine, but the surprise revelation of hidden treasure is about to turn his entire life upside-down.

Before long, Peter receives notice of his grandfather’s death along with a package containing five seemingly innocent items—a pocket watch, rosary beads, a wedding ring, a small prayer book, his grandfather’s staff…

  …and a reminder to visit a contact at the Huntington Museum.

With the diamonds now in his possession, Peter is about to become the prey in a very dangerous game…

Ken Johnson, a bitter in-law with knowledge of the gemstones, hopes to trap Peter and take the stones for himself—and Johnson will stop at nothing to possess the world-class diamonds.

“Using her effective gift for writing, author Cherie Rashel delivers a modern-day action-adventure tale replete with passionate characters that display the unfamiliar power of generosity,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “Likened in style and feel to the iconic missions of Indiana Jones and James Bond, Truly Hidden: The Missing Diamonds Mystery, is an exceptionally crafted story packed with an abundance of both mystery and suspense.”

Author Cherie Rashel was born and raised in Wisconsin, near the scenic beauty of Lake Michigan. She is married to her college sweetheart, and they have two sons who are actively involved in the family business. She has always enjoyed gardening and has a small lemon and grapefruit tree in her kitchen full of edible fruit, but her real joy comes from writing.

For Ms. Rashel, nothing quite compares to the authentic smile of a pleasantly surprised reader.

Truly Hidden is her first published novel.
