When they become pawns in a dangerous gang’s plan to steal the most prized possession of the notorious Mongolian leader Genghis Khan, Addison and his friends find themselves once again caught in the middle of a multi-million-dollar international heist. Armed with nothing but their wits and thirst for adventure, they travel across Asia in an attempt to rescue Addison’s family and stop the treasure from falling into the wrong hands.Brimming with round-the-clock action and tons of laughter, Addison Cooke and the Tomb of the Khan is perfect for fans of Indiana Jones, ancient history, and James Patterson’s Treasure Hunters series.Praise for Addison Cooke and the Tomb of the Khan:“Humorous and thrilling…a clever and well-done fast-paced adventure for intrepid readers.” —HuffpostPraise for Addison Cooke and the Treasure of the Incas:“Combines the derring-do of Indiana Jones with a genuine archaeological mystery.
