This is a mystery with lost treasure, pirates, murder, sharks, secret societies, Maroons, Corsican thugs, Aztecs, and archeologists.   Matt Shane’s pseudo-father is found dead of an apparent suicide.   Matt doesn’t accept that his friend would commit suicide, and there the mystery begins.

Matt discovers that Professor Holmes was a member of a Secret group on a quest.  The quest led the group to Jamaica where death starts tracking the group. 

The author’s description of Captain Morgan’s trek across Panama, resonated with me as I’m intimately familiar with the rugged geography and the dangers of that area. 

Dobbyn successfully tied a wealth of topics and locations together into an action-laden tale that was a delight to read.  I recommend the book.
