Spartan Gold book description
An ancient treasure stolen by Xerxes the Great…
Discovered by Napoleon Bonaparte…
The clues to its hidden location lost until now…
Adventurers and treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are on a wild-goose chase. Up to their waists in the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Maryland, they’re hunting for lost gold. What they find instead is a small Second World War German U-boat.
Inside the submarine they find a body – and a puzzling, incredibly rare bottle of wine. This bottle was one of twelve taken from Napoleon’s ‘lost cellar’. But it is also a clue to a fabulous, ancient treasure.
One that Hadeon Bondaruk – a half-Russian, half-Persian millionaire – will do anything to get his hands on. For he claims descent from the treasure’s one-time owner.
It will be his, no matter who stands in his way…
