As is revealed, Maxwell has buried himself and his invaluable collection of rare gems, art, and artifacts somewhere in the world, putting his three sons to the challenge of now finding his pharaoh-like tomb if they plan on ever claiming his inheritance. To complicate things even further, a ruthless pharmaceutical company CEO in search of one of Maxwell's priceless possessions, an ancient Mayan codex which contains all the lost lore of Mayan herbal medicine--knowledge which would revolutionize pharmacology--has sent out mercenaries with orders to kill anyone standing in his way, including the beautiful enigmatic woman accompanying one of them. The race for treasure is on-with stakes being dangerously high. 650 0 $a Inheritance and succession $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Pharmaceutical industry $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Archaeological thefts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Manuscripts, Maya $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Treasure-trove $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Tombs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Suspense fiction 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 941 $a 5 945 $a cdab 952 $l ZTPC475 $d 20160122082221.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l TRPE062 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l SJPB094 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l AFPD266 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72A003A22B0511DE80C1F007A8D7520AInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
