Gold in the Shadow » (New Edition)

Gold In the Shadow is a fast-paced archaeological suspense thriller.

It was outright lunacy, Rachel realized, to take a Peruvian expedition, based on a Moroccan map, to find a fabled city that almost certainly did not exist. It was a destination smack in the middle of some of the most inhospitable territory that Mother Nature had to offer. Poison darts, bushmaster serpents, vampire bats, unknown creatures straight from a nightmare...and Rachel's missing twin. Despite the drawbacks, she had to get to her twin as soon as possible. Only ancient myths and native legends hint at the fantastic secret Rachel is about to unlock.
