      About This Book

      "Greetings from the dead," declares Maxwell Broadbent on the videotape he left behind after his mysterious disappearance. A notorious treasure hunter and tomb robber, Broadbent accumulated over a half a billion dollars' worth of priceless art, gems, and artifacts before vanishing--along with his entire collection--from his mansion in New Mexico.

      As a final challenge to his three sons, Broadbent has buried him-self and his treasure somewhere in the world, hidden away like an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. If the sons wish to claim their inheritance, they must find their father's carefully concealed tomb.

      The race is on, but among Broadbent's treasures is an ancient Mayan codex that may hold a secret fir more important than the wealth of riches among it, and Broadbent's sons aren't the only ones after it.
