Description

Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase possess extraordinary pieces of an ancient puzzle that lead 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 mysteries: 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 their friends, their love for one another, even their lives.

A rumor of riches. A maze of murder. And the world’s most dangerous, sought-after prize.
