The Gold House trilogy is the most comprehensively documented account ever published on Victorio Peak, a mountain located on White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico with an astounding history. The story begins in the 1930s at a place called Hembrillo Basin, a rugged desert region where E.M. “Doc” Noss and his wife, Ova, found a vast treasure, a discovery unmatched in the northern hemisphere. The first book in the trilogy, The Discovery, presents events from the days after the finding of the gold hoard—worth billions at today’s prices—through the murder of Doc Noss in 1949 and the eviction of Ova from the treasure site by military personnel in 1955. Ova’s eviction was followed by a string of thefts by military personnel, civilians and outright criminals, a windfall for those who helped themselves to the gold.

Volume Two of the trilogy, The Lies, The Thefts, documents that billions of dollars in gold were secretly and illegally removed from the treasure from the 1950s onward, with those involved allegedly including two Presidents—Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. Serious allegations of massive theft, corruption and murder are supported by years of research and documentation that include hundreds of interviews, affidavits, government papers, letters, money-laundering agreements, and other records.

Volume 3, Executive Order, describes how a dream come true for the rightful owners of the treasure—the heirs of those who discovered it in 1937—turned into a nightmare. Granted permission by President George H.W. Bush to return to the site from which the family of Doc and Ova Noss had been banned for 35 years, members of the search team found themselves straitjacketed by officials on the site and unable to carry out their mission. Executive Order describes a surreal sequence of intimidating behavior that played out against the Noss family, including false and deliberate overbillings, illegal changes to an agreed-upon contract, lies, coercion and intimidation.
