About this title

About the Author:

Although credited to dashing adventurer Gabriel Hunt, this installment in the series was actually written by Gabriel Hunt’s creator, Edgar Award winner Charles Ardai. Ardai has edited numerous anthologies, including Great Tales of Crime, Detection and Kingpins: Tales From Inside the Mob, The Return of the Black Widowers, High Adventures, Great Tales of Madness and the Macabre, Futurecrime, and New England Crime Chowder. His stories have been selected for numerous anthologies, including Best Mystery Stories of the Year the Year's Best Horror Stories, Death Do Us Part, and Manhattan Noir.  

From Publishers Weekly:

Drawing firmly on the pulp tradition but never shying away from the latest and most improbable gadgetry, Gabriel Hunt's third adventure (after 2009's Hunt Through the Cradle of Fear) proves him a contemporary heir to Indiana Jones, Bruce Wayne and Travis McGee. Kaufmann's storytelling, all action and little introspection, enhances the autobiographical conceit as anthropologist-archeologist Hunt, backed by the fiscal resources of the Hunt Foundation and his brother's extensive research library, travels to Borneo in search of Joyce Wingard, a family friend who disappeared while working on her doctorate and searching for information on an ancient Hittite weapon. Readers willing to suspend disbelief and embrace a touch of the supernatural (not to mention millennia-old death cults whose members engage the protagonists in hand-to-hand combat in the 21st century) will enjoy Hunt's romp across several continents.
