Synopsis

For archaeologist and TV show host Annja Creed, a restful vacation in Costa Rica is as elusive as a rare artifact. Days into her sojourn, Annja's peace is interrupted by a woman with a mysterious—and enticing—tale. Weeks earlier, her husband led an expedition into the rain forest, in search of the lost treasure of Lima, and hadn't returned. The priceless hoard was smuggled out of Peru during the country's nineteenth-century revolt against Spain. But it disappeared when a ship captain went mad with greed.

Twenty-six expeditions have gone after the treasure. And twenty-six expeditions have vanished.

Sympathetic to the woman's distress, Annja agrees to head up a rescue party for her missing husband. And Annja can't deny her own interest in the lost hoard. Now the fates of two expeditions are at stake, along with a fortune in gold, silver and jewels rumoured to be exquisite. But the dense jungle of Cocos Island guards its primitive secrets well. Danger lurks beneath the ancient green canopy. And this time, Annja doesn't see it coming...

Though hardly deep, this was fun to read.......more

After reading this book, I was a little surprised to find that the Treasure of Lima is an actual, and it really is supposed to be buried on Cocos Island. I had assumed, while reading the book, that it was made up for the book. Annja is on vacation (boy, she goes on a lot of those through the series)......more

A fast-paced, action adventure with Annja Creed, a modern-day Indiana Jones. A smart, beautiful, martial arts trained(?), magic sword-wielding woman who loves archaeology, the thrill of the chase and finding hidden treasure. (This is who I always wanted to be!) This story is set in Costa Rica. While......more

Nice tight Pulp adventure. Like Indiana Jones? Read the Rogue Angel series. There's a disappointing shortage of fun Pulp these days. Treasure of Lima is just fun. I've got a few other Rogue Angel books around here somewhere. I'm looking forward to digging them out and enjoying the exotic locales and......more
