Murder/action/mystery/gold/Chile/fiction Hidden Murder is an amended version of Connect the Dots to Murder. Hidden Murder

Ted Baker, the son of a rich Connecticut family, is reported dead in Chile. His parent's grief is overwhelming, and they don't believe the official rendition of his death. They are left with no body to bury and doubts about the truth. Frustrated, they engage Dan Ryan, a New York private detective with a reputation for finding people and things, to bring them their son's body. Like a Pit Bull chomping on an intruder's leg, Dan Ryan follows the hidden dots of evidence left by violence and intrigue to uncover the facts. When a beautiful woman with her own agenda joins his search, the caper becomes personal.

Ryan discovers the affair is wrapped in political intrigue and lost Inca gold artifacts. Unraveling this complex truth, he learns that solving a crime in a foreign country can turn unpleasant with deadly complications and fears he may not get out of Chile alive.
