Product Description

Book Description

Jeremy Wheale's well-ordered life is torn apart when his brother is murdered by a mob hit man, whose bait was a family heirloom - a sixteenth-century gold tray. The trail takes Wheale from Devon to Mexico and the wild tropical rain forests of Yucatan. In dense jungle, he helps two archaeologists locate the rest of a fabled hoard of gold - treasure from Uaxuanoc, the centuries-old lost city of the Mayas. But his brother's enemies are on Wheale's trail, and with them are the Chicleros, a vicious band of convict mercenaries.

About the Author

Celebrated for his fast-paced stories and attention to detail, thriller writer Desmond Bagley was born in the Lake District and spent his early working life in the aircraft industry, before his adventurous spirit took him on an exciting road trip to South Africa, where he settled as a freelance journalist and film critic. His first novel, The Golden Keel was an instant success, and he went on to write a further fifteen gripping stories, which have been translated into more than 20 languages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic adventure story., 15 Dec 2000
By A Customer
From Devonshire, England to Yucatan, Mexico this book builds into a fast paced adventure/thriller with a fantastic climax. All of the characters are believable and the description of the locations put you firmly into the middle of the action, the long trudge through the rain forest is a good example of this. For anybody that has never read a Desmond Bagley book I could recommend any of his great works, but I think this one is probably my favourite. Un-put-down-able!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars MASTER OF THE FAST MOVING ADVENTURE STORY, 12 May 2001
By A Customer
Just one more example of why Desmond Bagley was master of the thriller genre. One of the very few authors who believed in giving his readers value for money, as is evident in the pain-staking research that went into this story (and the other fifteen he wrote). There is only one other writer on the planet who keeps up the Bagley tradition, and that is John Templeton Smith. Bagley was Smith's mentor in Guernsey, for a number of years up to his (DB's) death in early 1983 - that was the same year that JTS, writing as John Smith first published - so maintaining continuity of the Bagley tradition. If this is your first Bagley book, I urge you to try the rest, especially his first -The Golden Keel. I feel sure you will not be disappointed.
