  A MAGNIFICENT CACHE OF ANCIENT GOLD
   BURIED IN MYSTERY...
   A POWERFUL CRIME FAMILY TAKES BLOODY AIM...
   DIRK PITT® VOWS TO STOP THEM, PLUNGING
   INTO A PIT OF EVIL!
  Nearly five centuries ago a fleet of boats landed mysteriously on an island in an inland sea. There, an ancient Andean people hid a golden hoard greater than that of any pharaoh, then they and their treasure vanished into history -- until now.  1998, the Andes Mountains of Peru. DIRK PITT dives into an ancient sacrificial pool, saving two American archaeologists from certain drowning. But his death-defying rescue is only the beginning, as it draws the intrepid Pitt into a vortex of darkness and danger, corruption and betrayal. A sinister crime syndicate has traced the long-lost treasure -- worth almost a billion dollars -- from the Andes to the banks of a hidden undergound river flowing beneath a Mexican desert. Driven by burning greed and a ruthless bloodlust, the syndicate is racing to seize the golden prize...and to terminate the one man who can stop them:  
  DIRK PITT!
