The Sand Man: Story 13 in the "Tales of Suspense" Series

When a couple of young, listless losers pull off a Vegas’ slots casino heist and go on a wild run through the Mojave Desert, they find refuge in the cabin of an old man who has weathered many a decade. He tells them of an even greater score—the legend of a Spanish Galleon marooned in the desert sands that is filled with gold and jewelry. Enticed by the lure of untold wealth, Joey Matrone goes in search of the treasure but must battle both the severe elements and—what seems to be—supernatural forces that want to defeat him. Based on a shocking true story—or is it a legend—that has been researched and written about by nearly every generation since the Civil War era. Each book in the “Tales of Suspense” Series is a standalone story and not connected to the others. Readers can jump in at any point.
