This modern-day thriller takes off where Keith Beck's 2024 novel Dark Fortunes ended. The sixty-four-year-old heist unravels within today's Pacific Northwest and Alaska, creating a high-stakes deadly hunt for Hitler's treasure. The suspense is intense as chaos and conflict erupts between the CIA, Dark Star agents, California bikers and ruthless mobsters. Survival seems impossible as moral boundaries dissolve into a cauldron of lies and murders. To the victor comes dark fortunes.
On August 24, 1975, President Gerald Ford and Donald S. MacDonald, Canadian Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources, completed Operation B.O.L.D by flipping a symbolic wooden switch to signal the first turbine at Libby Dam to start producing electricity. This was the culmination of decades of speculation, planning, international negotiations and over nine years of construction work.
To commemorate 50 years of flood control and energy production, Montana State Archivist Rich Aarstad leads us through the trials, tribulations and triumphs of the men and women who put together Libby Dam.
