Part of Fargo Adventures, book 9
First published 2017
Sam and Remi Fargo face their most dangerous treasure hunt when a modern kidnapping leads them to a lost fortune from Russian history. In 1918, someone paid an enormous ransom to free the Romanov family from the Bolsheviks, but the royal family died anyway. The Nazis seized this treasure during World War II, then it disappeared completely. Now the Fargos discover that descendants of a Nazi faction called the Werewolves guard the riches. These extremists plan to use the fortune to create a Fourth Reich, and their moment approaches. The husband and wife team track clues across Europe, Northern Africa, and South America. Each step brings them closer to fanatics who will kill to protect their inheritance. Sam and Remi know this mission exceeds any previous adventure. They have a chance to stop unspeakable crimes before they happen again.
