Synopsis

A RUMOR OF RICHES. A MAZE OF MURDER. AND THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS, SOUGHT-AFTER PRIZE.
 
Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase possess extraordinary pieces of an ancient puzzle that leads them from Singapore to the jungles of South America. Inside a storm of political and drug warfare, Nina is getting close to one of history’s greatest secrets: the mythical golden city of El Dorado. As one discovery unveils another, Nina realizes that a legendary Incan leader made a deal with his Spanish captors—and hid forever the real El Dorado. Now, Nina and Eddie face a maze of death traps and betrayals, including one that reaches into Eddie’s past in Afghanistan, even into his own family in England. Behind a waterfall in Peru is an unfound wonder of the world. And to get there, Nina and Eddie may have to sacrifice everything: their friends, their love for one another, even their lives.

This time we go the jungles of South America to search for the mythical golden city of El Dorado. Really cool setting and another solid plot with action scenes aplenty, though these books are noticeably getting a bit formulaic.......more

Goodreads review by Ruben

An astonishingly demanding read. McDermott is not without talent or competence, but seems to get carried away by his enjoyment of writing or the market's enjoyment of buying books that contain innumerable action scenes with very little variation, point or deeper meaning. The hope that having the cha......more

Goodreads review by Elly

2* Ths is tough to write. Thrillers dealing with archaeology are often among my favourites, so I had high hopes for this. And throughout, there were enough teasers and questions thrown out to keep me going and I did listen to the end. But there were many times when I very nearly gave up, and it was......more

Goodreads review by Melinda

If you want action, history, adventure, archeology, plot twist on twists and intrigue -- then this series is for you. Another fabulous addition to the Nina and Eddie show! Obviously these books are fairly formulaic but they are well written and fast-paced...and if you like this sort of genre, it will......more
