But failing could mean her deathArchaeologist Matthew Connor and his friends Cal and Robyn are finally home after a dangerous … death
Archaeologist Matthew Connor and his friends Cal and Robyn are finally home after a dangerous retrieval expedition in India. While they succeeded in obtaining the priceless Pandu artifact they sought, it almost cost them their lives. Still, Matthew is ready for the next adventure. Yet when new intel surfaces indicating the possible location of the legendary City of Gold, Matthew is hesitant to embark on the quest.
Not only is the evidence questionable but it means looking for the lost city of Paititi far away from where other explorers have concentrated their efforts. As appealing as making the discovery would be, it’s just too risky. But when Cal’s girlfriend, Sophie, is abducted by Matthew’s old nemesis who is dead-set on acquiring the Pandu statue, Matthew may be forced into action. Saving Sophie’s life means either breaking into the Royal Ontario Museum to steal the relic or offering up something no one in his or her right mind would refuse—the City of Gold.
Now Matthew and his two closest friends have to find a city and a treasure that have been lost for centuries. And they only have seven days to do it. As they race against the clock, they quickly discover that the streets they seek aren’t actually paved with gold, but with blood.
City of Gold is an exciting, action-packed, edge-of-your-seat adventure that’s akin to an Indiana Jones story set in modern times. It’s light on history and heavy on action, suspense, and intrigue. Buy this international bestselling book today and strap yourself in for an action-packed good time!

Good adventure.
Fast paced action packed page turner from start to finish. Can’t wait to read the next book. Highly recommend!
This was a really great book. It was like watching an action movie. Loved it and highly recommend it.
The first chapter or so was great, then it turned for the worse. Just a load of gibberish.
This book was disappointing. The characters are all two dimensional and very stock. The storyline is very simplistic, bordering on predictable. Most of the dialogue is stilted and trite.
Still reading, it has a great idea and characters too.
Not impressed.
I enjoyed this book and plan to read more from this series.
Purely for entertainment. An entertaining quick read.
A good read with danger, secrets and plot twists. The plot moves along very quickly, perhaps a bit too quickly to believe this could all happen so fast. But, I enjoyed the book. Would have liked more in-depth descriptions of the dicsovery.
Entertaining story, even so I didn’t like too much the end. I had the impression it was not well thought through.
Not very believable but lots of fun and activity.
Great read, highly recommend.
I would have given it 5 stars except for the repetition on how bad some of the main characters felt about decisions they made.
fictional but with alot of historical information really enjoyed this book
I liked the character interaction . . . sort of like a male Laura
Current with new discoveries in the Americas. well worth the read.
Fast paced thriller. Nicely mixes in historical info on the Inca population.
All in all, pretty dumb!
Matthew Connor is secretly a treasure hunter. He travels with a small group of friends to find treasures that people thought were lost forever. When one of their own is kidnapped Matthew has 1 week to find the city of gold or she will be killed. An action packed story that I could not put down.
