Summary

From the USA Today best-selling author of Loch and Solomon Key comes a brand new, action-packed Dane Maddock Adventure!

A treasure lost in the desert. A notorious unsolved murder. A contest where the stakes are life and death.

When treasure hunters Dane Maddock and Bones Bonebrake travel to the Mojave Desert to help launch an adventure race, they make a baffling discovery - a dungeon room hidden high in the desert hills, and beyond, a previously undiscovered network of caverns that seem to go on forever. But someone will kill to protect the secrets that are hidden there.

When an attempt is made on Maddock's life, the assassin's trail sets the former Navy SEALs on a search for one of the greatest legends of the southwest. But to find it, they must unmask the notorious Black Dahlia killer!

Classic archaeological adventure for the modern reader! Fans of Indiana Jones, Dirk Pitt, and National Treasure will love the Dane Maddock Adventures!

Critic reviews

"David Wood has done it again. Within seconds of opening the book, I was hooked. Intrigue, suspense,monsters, and treasure hunters. What more could you want? David's knocked it out of the park with this one!" (Nick Thacker, author of The Enigma Strain)

 

“Dane and Bones.... Together they're unstoppable. Rip roaring action from start to finish. Wit and humor throughout. Just one question - how soon until the next one? Because I can't wait.” (Graham Brown, author of Shadows of the Midnight Sun)

“With the thoroughly enjoyable way Mr. Wood has mixed speculative history with our modern day pursuit of truth, he has created a story that thrills and makes one think beyond the boundaries of mere fiction and enter the world of 'why not'?” (David Lynn Golemon, author of the Event Group series)

Loved the narration of Jeffrey Kafer

I loved this book, I found myself loving the adventure, humour and characters. We start off going back to 1940s with the mention and killer of known for the Black Dahlia murder. Bones and Maddock are on top form. In a contest for a TV series, but two other groups are also doing their own contest. Throw in a killer, a ship in the desert, two old movie stars trying to get back in the game. Oh, gold and old mines.... and so much more.

The hunt is on

While helping a friend, Maddock and Bones are drawn into a hunt for hidden treasure and an old murder case. Good, fast paced adventure with a good supporting cast.

Well narrated by Jeffrey Kafer.

Move over Indiana Jones

This isn't my normal type of book, as I prefer cozy mysteries but I fancied a change and the blurb sounded interesting. So glad I downloaded, as I really enjoyed it, in fact I have already downloaded another book in the series. The story was packed full of mystery, adventure and action, there is so much going on that I listened to the story in one day and to say I was hooked would be an understatement. I could easily see it playing out on the silver screen, just like an Indiana Jones adventure, an obvious hero of the author as he also gets a lot of mentions and chuckles. I really like the characters, especially the easy friendship between Maddock and Bones. As well as treasure hunting there was even a murderer to catch, yeah the best of both worlds and a genre I will have to list again if it's anything like this book. Off to jump into another adventure.
Maddock and Bones are asked to try out an assault course there friend is hoping to put celebrities through. Instead they are faced with an unfriendly neighbour, rumours of ships in the desert and a serial killer on the lose. All of which has them sticking around to discover more. Can they find what is hidden in the desert caves? When someone is trying so hard to stop them.
I liked the narrator. He has a pleasant voice to listen too and one that he uses well to bring the action and adventure to life.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

More Maddock and Bones doing the usual

This book was okay, but definitely a step down from the others in the series. It felt a little cluttered and clumsy where too much was trying to be packed in an attempt to match the level of the other stories. It was worth a listen but I wouldn’t choose to listen to it again.
