When Guy Bodie hears that one of his oldest friends has been murdered whilst on a relic hunting assignment, he knows he can't let it lie. Bodie and his team travel to Whitby, UK, to take up the hunt and find themselves embroiled in a deadly mission, pitted against a terrible global enemy known as the Order of Mammon. Tracking down age-old clues that will lead them to the Crown of a Thousand Jewels, a thousand dead generals, and the ancient body of Mammon himself, Bodie chases across the globe, from Hastings to York, to old, abandoned houses in France and the world's oldest casino in Romania, confronted at every turn by the deadly order and its acolytes. But, as hard as their trek seems, they haven't seen the worst of it yet. The twisting trail finally leads them into the Amazon rainforest, forcing them to confront all its sprawling, countless dangers if they are to find the city ruins lost in antiquity, if they are to beat the Order of the Mammon to the greatest prize of all. --Amazon.com.
