Thirty Feet Under

Thirty Feet Under by William Wodhams is a thrilling tale that will captivate readers who enjoy the works of Dan Brown. The narrative unfolds a gripping story of lost kings, mad emperors, international smugglers, and an FBI Art Crimes Team determined to recover the missing treasures of an ancient empire.

When a museum in Italy is robbed and the guard murdered, the Carabinieri Art Squad turns to Kate Taylor for assistance in tracking down the thieves. After spending years in the FBI Art Crimes Team primarily managing files and computer tasks, Kate is exhilarated to finally engage in a real case.

However, there’s something peculiar about the case: the stolen item is a small, unimposing marble sphinx. Why would the Carabinieri be so concerned about this particular artifact? Regardless, Kate eagerly anticipates the thrill and adventure of the investigation. Plus, she finds herself drawn to Luca, the Carabinieri’s agent, and his strikingly beautiful eyes.

The stolen sphinx is more significant than it appears; it holds the key to one of archaeology's greatest enigmas: the lost tomb of a legendary king. As she delves deeper, Kate finds herself tangled in an international smuggling ring where the stakes are life and death. As uncertainty grips her, she questions whom she can trust, including Luca. She faces a race against time, with only two weeks to solve this ancient mystery before its treasures are lost forever.

Meanwhile, in New York, Paul Klugman is on the verge of abandoning his aspiration of becoming an ancient art dealer. His fortunes shift dramatically after a call from an eccentric art collector alters his life’s trajectory. Although he quickly achieves the success and wealth he always longed for, he soon realises the cost is far steeper than he had ever anticipated. The truth, much like the sought-after artefacts, lies buried deep.
