When archaeologist Albrecht Fischer asks Sam and Remi Fargo to help excavate an ancient battlefield in Hungary, the husband-and-wife treasure hunters uncover clues to one of history's greatest lost fortunes. Their discovery points toward the legendary burial place of Attila the Hun, whose immense collection of gold, jewels, and plunder has remained hidden for more than fifteen centuries. But the trail leads not to a single tomb, but to five treasure sites scattered across Europe, drawing the Fargos into a dangerous race against rival treasure hunters, a calculating Russian businessman, and a ruthless Hungarian who claims to be Attila's descendant. As the clues grow more complicated and their enemies more desperate, Sam and Remi must use their archaeological knowledge and ingenuity to stay one step ahead. Perfect for readers craving a globe-trotting adventure filled with ancient mysteries, buried treasure, historical puzzles, and high-stakes suspense.
