Forrest Fenn’s ‘Thrill of the Chase’ was the greatest treasure hunt of the modern-day era. ‘The Pearl Necklace’ tells the mostly true story of one family’s quest to recover the gold-laden chest. Supposedly the $2 million horde of gold and precious gemstones was found in 2020. This tale of adventure and intrigue casts serious doubt on the legitimacy of that discovery. In doing so, it reveals the solution to the hunt that has baffled thousands of searchers over the last 13 years. It also poses a number of questions. Was the hunt a cryptological masterpiece? Or was it merely an elaborate hoax to keep an aging gentleman amused in his later years? And was there a larger, more sinister back story to the Chase? All is revealed in The Pearl Necklace as well as the introduction of a new treasure quest to enthral the next generation of fortune seekers The Hunt for the Sacred Idol.
