The Emperor's Palace
Unearthing a relic might be their only hope, but its location has remained a secret for centuries.
A panicked midnight phone call rips Carter and Avery from a remote research expedition in South America. Carter's young niece has disappeared from her summer camp without a trace, and her safe return home instantly becomes their sole focus.
Despite Avery's wealth and the best detectives money can buy, the days stretch on with no leads, no answers, and no sign of the child. Hope begins to fade--until a ransom demand arrives, explosive and terrifying in its simplicity. The kidnappers don't want money--they seek something far more dangerous.
Because they want the impossible: a legendary Chinese relic lost to history for centuries. And they'll stop at nothing to get it.
Bestselling authors LynDee Walker and Bruce Robert Coffin craft a heart-racing treasure hunt thriller. Perfect for fans of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt series and Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code.
