The Chase for the Missing Mummy
High school seniors Ben Prescott, Porter Rockwell, and Latch McCrae are united by a shared passion: to plumb the depths of America's past for lost treasure. Ben is the brains, the dreamer, the visionary. Porter is the muscle and quick-witted action man. And Latch is the gearhead, who never saw a device he couldn't pull apart, figure out, and make use of for treasure hunting.
While researching Ambrose Bierce-- the famous and sharp-tongued American writer and adventurer who vanished in Mexico in 1913--Ben comes across phrases in the author's piece in an old magazine that go beyond Bierce's usual razor-smile, hot-take humor. It looks to Ben like Bierce was laying out clues to a lost treasure! Following a cross-country trail, the hunters delve into America's booming and freewheeling Gilded Age. Along the way, a mummified body surfaces, rumored to be Bierce himself.
Meanwhile, lurking in the shadows is the hunters' shady nemesis, the Alignment and its malicious operator, Forigo, determined to suppress anything cool in American history. Now Ben, Porter, and Latch must follow a dangerous path from the halls of power in Washington D.C. to the remote vastness of the American Southwest, as they chase after Bierce's missing mummy--and a Gilded Age fortune of historic proportions!
The American Treasure Hunters series is packed with adventure, mystery, and action as modern-day high school seniors Ben, Porter, and Latch search for lost treasure from America's hidden past.
