Adventurous novel about a treasure hunter an tomb robber who invites his sons over one in the pretense of the reading of the will and finds the home ransacked. In it they find a note from the father explaining how he is disappointed in them and that he has buried himself with his treasure and that it is their job to uncover the hiding place and that they will be the better for it. Before long the news gets out and you find there are other people searching for this site (including two pharmaceutical companies) for their own personal reasons: one of which is a codex - a thousand year-old mayan document that details the medicinal analysis of a varity of indigenous plants and animals beneficial to curing human diseases. If you like action-adventure this is novel for you - excellently written in the style of Indiana Jones. The writing was very desciptive and florid. Highly entertaining.
