Part of Fargo Adventures, book 4
First published 2012
An archaeologist friend asks Sam and Remi Fargo to help excavate a secret historical site. The married treasure hunting team discovers clues that point toward the hidden burial place of Attila the Hun. The legendary High King was supposedly entombed with gold, jewels, and stolen riches that no one has ever recovered. The Fargos track leads across Hungary, Italy, France, Russia, and Kazakhstan. They learn the trail leads not to a single grave but to five separate tombs. Amateur treasure hunters try to steal their discoveries. A clever Russian businessman blocks their progress. Most dangerous of all, a brutal Hungarian man claims to be Attila's direct descendant. He will kill anyone who stands between him and the ancient fortune. The Fargos must outrun and outwit their enemies to reach the tombs first.
