THE TREASURE OF THE GRAN VENTURA

What is the connection between bitcoin and the collapse of the Bronze Age in 1177 BC? Between the Temple of Moriah in ancient Jerusalem and the central banks of today? Between the Knights of Templar and the end of civilization? Follow ex-detective Dan Landes as he tries to unravel the riddle of thirty-three centuries in the Treasure of the Gran Ventura.

Dan Landes lives the perfect expat life in Central America. But the innocent sale of some old Spanish coins leads to the death of two foreigner treasure hunters, and catapults Dan Landes to the town of Toledo, Spain, where he tries to outmaneuver modern-day Templar Knights to piece together a centuries-old map to the location of buried gold from the Crusades. In doing so, he stumbles upon a plot to collapse the central banks and plunge the world into a new Dark Ages.

Robert Rahula, the author of Exigent Circumstances and Uninvited Guest delivers another intriguing Dan Landes Mystery, centered around the exploits of ex-detective Dan Landes, his expat friend Ricardo Mendes, and the two police chiefs from Panama, José Fernando and Jorge Manuel.
