ROOT OF EVIL

.....is the discovery of a chestful of gold eagle coins that sends Jim McCabe from California to Europe to translate them through some fancy finagling in the antique black market into a sky high sum of dollars. The price is his wife, his brother and a risk to others associated with him -- or working against him -- and proves to be more than he wants to pay. A money chase on a low exchange of characters.
