FOUR MILLION DOLLARS. ONE GOLD NUGGET. ONE MONTH TO FIND IT.
Daredevil pilot Kurt Reid has inherited a challenge from the grave. To claim his grandfather’s four-million-dollar estate, he must fly to the Yucatán and return within one month with a gold nugget matching the one Nathan Reid found there fifty years earlier. Kurt knows the will is a trap. He also knows he is going anyway.
Broke and needing a way south, Kurt signs on as pilot for three suspicious men headed to the same destination. Alongside him is Joy Sutherland, a daring aviator and radio operator whose own flying career has run out of luck. Then Kurt discovers machine guns hidden aboard the plane—and realizes his employers are hunting gold too.
In the Yucatán jungle, the treasure hunt becomes a fight for survival. Kurt faces armed rivals, an old blood debt left by his ruthless grandfather and people who mistake him for the man they have hated for half a century. Fast-paced and tightly plotted, Forbidden Gold delivers aerial action, jungle danger, treasure, romance and impossible odds as Kurt races to find the gold and make it out alive.
