Clive Cussler introduces Sam and Remi Fargo in Spartan Gold.
An ancient treasure stolen by Xerxes the Great . . . Discovered by Napoleon Bonaparte . . . The clues to its hidden location lost until now . . .
Adventurers and treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are on a wild-goose chase. Up to their waists in the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Maryland, they're hunting for lost gold. What they find instead is a small Second World War German U-boat.
Inside the submarine they find a body - and a puzzling, incredibly rare bottle of wine. This bottle was one of twelve taken from Napoleon's 'lost cellar'. But it is also a clue to a fabulous, ancient treasure.
One that Hadeon Bondaruk - a half-Russian, half-Persian millionaire - will do anything to get his hands on. For he claims descent from treasure's one-time owner.
It will be his, no matter who stands in his way . . .
Clive Cussler, author of the celebrated Dirk Pitt novels Arctic Drift and Crescent Dawn, presents his newest series, following the adventures of treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo - beginning with Spartan Gold.

'The guy I read' Tom Clancy
Just when you thought that Harvey couldn’t get any better, up he pops with yet another brilliantly constructed, coolly written, chillingly sharp and utterly contemporary procedural.
—— Henry Sutton , Daily MirrorJohn Harvey is not just a fine crime novelist but a fine writer, and an adornment to his chosen genre. I devoured Good Bait in a day, and defy any reader to do otherwise.Great stuff.
—— John ConnollyJohn Harvey returns in resounding form … Terrific plot and, in Karen Shields, a splendid new heroine.
—— Marcel Berlins , The TimesIntricate, character-driven plotting and a large canvas full of telling detail lift this above the average police procedural.
—— Laura Wilson , GuardianJohn Harvey shows he is one of the best crime writers around: perhaps even Britain's answer to the great Elmore Leonard
—— Mail on SundayGood Bait proves that John Harvey is always prepared to tackle something new and ambitious.
—— Barry Forshaw , IndependentHarvey really does have his finger on the pulse of what is happening in the criminal underworld and some of the more deprived areas of London. There's a real sense, not just of what's happening, but of why it's happening and where there are gaps in the net. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
