Lobstering for the summer off the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, high schooler Lauchie pulls up an old crock containing an antique pistol and a letter describing hidden treasure. Predictable but entertaining adventure ensues as Lauchie and a friend search for the stash of silver and gold and narrowly escape disaster when a cave wall collapses. Ashby has a good sense of Cape Breton speech cadence and develops the setting well.
