Inca Gold

**A MAGNIFICENT CACHE OF ANCIENT GOLD BURIED IN MYSTERY… A POWERFUL CRIME FAMILY TAKES BLOODY AIM… DIRK PITT® VOWS TO STOP THEM, PLUNGING INTO A PIT OF EVIL!** Nearly five centuries ago a fleet of boats landed mysteriously on an island in an inland sea. There, an ancient Andean people hid a golden hoard greater than that of any pharaoh, then they and their treasure vanished into history — until now. *1998, the Andes Mountains of Peru.* DIRK PITT dives into an ancient sacrificial pool, saving two American archaeologists from certain drowning. But his death-defying rescue is only the beginning, as it draws the intrepid Pitt into a vortex of darkness and danger, corruption and betrayal. A sinister crime syndicate has traced the long-lost treasure — worth almost a billion dollars — from the Andes to the banks of a hidden undergound river flowing beneath a Mexican desert. Driven by burning greed and a ruthless bloodlust, the syndicate is racing to seize the golden prize…and to terminate the one man who can stop them: **DIRK PITT!**
