Montezuma’s Pearl: David Lee Jones

Buried beneath the Baja sands is a thing of powerful magic and fantastic wealth - intoxicating, irresistible - and deadly. A remarkable talisman from the time of the Aztecs - a breathtaking gem encompassing the Eyes of God - awaits the fortunate seeker foolish enough to claim it. An ex-jock with a dead-end job, Jack Hansen longs to escape the rat race. And now he has found the way, half-hidden on a Mexican beach - a fantastic jewel that is about to transform a carefree family vacation into an adventure. But Jack's prize comes with a price - dangerous rivals from the world of science and tribal myth - desperate foes who would gladly kill to own the power to alter the universe.
