When Simon Bonner answers the door to discover a fellow tomb raider, the man now married to his ex-wife, shot, bleeding, and begging for his help in rescuing said wife, who has been kidnapped, he is plunged into a high-stakes, life-altering adventure. Entrusted with an ancient crystal lens and told to find Jillian Talbot, a museum curator who has the secret ability ofbeing able to see people related to historical objects, Simon arrives just in time to save her from an abduction. Pursued by murderous rivals who want the lens and the fabulous treasure it will reveal with the use of Jillians talents, Simon and Jillian venture into the jungles of Mexico to find a fabled lost city and a secret that could change the path of humankind. This page-turning, thrilling romantic adventure is just what the fans of the Indiana Jones movies have ordered: pure escapist bliss.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
