The circumstances of how Okewood gains knowledge of the treasure and the subsequent pursuit by Okewood's nemesis, Clubfoot, made for a fast-paced, suspenseful, and entertaining read highlighted by a romantic interest and a satisfying ending.

My only objection was with the ending----actually more of a postscript----that seemed overly complex and difficult to follow. Four stars may be a tad much, but three and one-half are warranted.
