Lost City

An enzyme that could dramatically extend human life has been found two thousand feet down in the North Atlantic, in an area called Lost City. The people trying to harvest it keep turning up dead.

On land, the trouble is just as deadly. Scientists at a remote laboratory in Greece are vanishing one by one, and a body has been found frozen in the ice high in the Alps. Nobody yet knows how these three threads connect.

Kurt Austin leads the Special Assignments Team at NUMA, and his colleague Joe Zavala works beside him. They are sent to untangle the deaths and disappearances, and the case looks to be larger than either man first expects.

This is an adventure thriller from the NUMA Files series, written by Clive Cussler with Paul Kemprecos. Expect ocean exploration, travel between far-flung locations, science at the center of the plot and plenty of physical action. The mystery is built from several unexplained events, so the questions pile up early and the pace stays brisk.
