He is not who he says he is. Ruben is Victor Rangel, the last surviving member of an armoured-car robbery crew, and before he dies he tells Francesca where the money went — a mine shaft out in Death Valley.\n\nGetting to it means bringing other people in, and other people are the problem. As the treasure hunt moves into the desert, the question stops being whether the money is there and starts being which of them will turn on the rest first — and whether the heat, the mine, and the scorpions get to them before that happens.\n\nRachel Howzell Hall's short story is part of the Never Tell collection of Amazon Original Stories.",2024,"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kxen4qkt26qgzxxrc6fr2a3a.jpg?v=a95e51868d","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kxen4qkt26qgzxxrc6fr2a3a.png?v=11880eac3a","L1A,,p%$008_0JD*RHx@03v~X2Xl","2.00",1,49,56,0,"complete",false,true,[17,17,17,14,17,17,17,17,17,17],[23],{"id":24,"slug":25,"name":26,"role":27,"bio":28},"01kqpshz4yvc3tv18nxwhm0erk","rachel-howzell-hall-40wy","Rachel Howzell Hall","author","Rachel Howzell Hall writes sharp, suspenseful thrillers that keep you guessing.
