The GILDED TREASON: An ALEX HUNT Adventure Thriller
ALEX HUNT and SAM QUINN are back for another Action-packed Archaeological Adventure This time, in the Cambodian jungle
Finding the golden urn was supposed to be easy. Nothing the skilled Alex Hunt and Sam Quinn haven't done before. But little did they know they would become the center of an international conspiracy. A conspiracy, so entangled in a web of secrets and crime that it could cost them their lives.
Faced with danger and underground syndicates, they soon realized they couldn't trust anyone. Nothing was as it seemed.
After their return from the lost city of Rhapta (The RHAPTA KEY #1), Professor Charles Hunt retired and handed the reins to his daughter, Alex.
So, when the sacred golden urn believed to have contained Buddha's remains, mysteriously disappeared from a mountain shrine in Cambodia, the Cambodian government hired the highly acclaimed pair for their assistance in finding the holy ancient relic and returning it to its rightful position in the Royal temple in Phnom Penh.
Alex and Sam were on the next plane to Cambodia in their quest to find the sacred golden urn. But what they encountered was far more than what they expected.
Would their pursuit for the golden urn put them through the ultimate test, or would it lead to the discovery of a relic no one even knew existed?
The GILDED TREASON is another epic tale of riddle solving relic hunting and Book #2 in the Alex Hunt Adventure Series.
This fast-paced Archaeological Adventure Thriller will without doubt delight Scott Mariani, Ernest Dempsey and Clive Cussler fans (Previously published as ALEX HUNT and The Golden Urn)
Based on a true story
Some 2500 years ago, Buddha's remains were gathered in several golden urns and shared amongst his followers in 84 000 stupas (holy burials) across the world. In December 2013, the golden urn believed to have contained Buddha's hair, fingers, and ashes, mysteriously disappeared from a mountain shrine in Cambodia. The circumstances were extremely suspicious.
Due to its religious magnitude, the Buddhist monks insisted the Cambodian government launch a manhunt for the perpetrators in the hope of recovering the stolen sacred relic. Doubts circled about its authenticity, casting suspicion on the Royal family that the real one was still out there somewhere. More details on this real life historic event inside the book.

About the Author
Teixeira, Urcelia: - Urcelia Teixeira is an author of fast-paced archaeological action-adventure novels with a Christian worldview. Her Alex Hunt Adventure Thriller Series has been described by readers as 'Indiana Jones meets Lara Croft with a twist of Bourne.' She read her first book when she was four and wrote her first poem when she was seven. And though she lived vicariously through books, and her far too few travels, life happened. She married the man of her dreams and birthed three boys (and added two dogs, a cat, three chickens, and some goldfish!) So, life became all about settling down and providing a means to an end. She climbed the corporate ladder, exercised her entrepreneurial flair and made her mark in real estate. Traveling and exploring the world made space for child-friendly annual family holidays by the sea. The ones where she succumbed to building sandcastles and barely got past reading the first five pages of a book. And on the odd occasion she managed to read fast enough to page eight, she was confronted with a moral dilemma as the umpteenth expletive forced its way off just about every page! But by divine intervention, upon her return from yet another male-dominated camping trip, when fifty knocked hard and fast on her door, and she could no longer stomach the profanities in her reading material, she drew a line in the sand and bravely set off to create a new adventure! It was in the dark, quiet whispers of the night, well past midnight late in the year 2017, that Alex Hunt was born. Her philosophy From her pen flows action-packed adventures for the armchair traveler who enjoys a thrilling escape. Devoid of the usual profanity and obscenities, she incorporates real-life historical relics and mysteries from exciting places all over the world. She aims to kidnap her reader from the mundane and plunge them into feel-good riddle-solving quests filled with danger, sabotage, and mystery! Never miss a new release!
