“A perilous hunt for a lost Spanish treasure!”
Trouble and treasure hunts. That’s life for former Navy SEALs Dane Maddock and Bones Bonebrake.
So, when Maddock discovers the body of a cold case victim beneath a crypt in a Hollywood cemetery, he is not surprised. What is shocking is the victim swallowed a cryptex before his death. Inside is a clue to lost Treasure of the Golden Jesus. But they are not the only ones on the hunt.
Maddock and Bones soon find themselves dodging their old enemies, the Dominion, as they follow the trail of the legendary treasure. Joined by aging actor Steven Segar and faded rock star Terry Gold, the pair set off on a search that will take them from the streets of Hollywood to the world’s most famous theme park and into the desert as they search for Desert Gold.
Classic adventure for the modern reader! Fans of Indiana Jones, Dirk Pitt, and National Treasure will love the Dane Maddock Adventures!
Praise for David Wood!
