Seventeen-year-old identical twins Dan and Paul Case think they’re doing a good deed when they pick up a lone hitchhiker. But this stranger is no ordinary traveler.
Eddie Ridgway — ex-accountant for a notorious Prohibition-era gangster — has just been released from prison and is rumored to know the location of a fortune in stolen cash.

It’s a trail of clues leading to a hidden treasure worth killing for.
From backroads stakeouts to heart-pounding escapes, Dan and Paul must outwit seasoned criminals, survive relentless pursuit, and unravel secrets that could change their lives forever.
Packed with vintage gangster vibes, modern pacing, and an addictive treasure-hunt plot, The Cash Cache Mystery is a page-turning YA adventure for teen readers, reluctant readers, and nostalgic fans alike.
