Tom finds himself on an unexpected adventure when a visit with his estranged uncle turns into a full-blown treasure hunt across Peru. A drug lord, car chase, buried treasure, and ancient mystery all collide in this novel, as Tom and his eccentric uncle search for the whereabouts of Francis Drake's fortune. A disappointingly flat ending puts the brakes on page-turning action.
