THE FORGOTTEN FORTUNE
Foreword by Luke Richardson
Unverified reports tell of a hidden treasure trove deep beneath Poland’s Owl Mountains. Many have sought the infamous Nazi gold train, but none have succeeded.
Yellowstone Park Ranger Jack Reilly travels to Auschwitz to honor his late grandmother, a Holocaust survivor and renowned historian. His quiet pilgrimage takes a deadly turn when a heavily armed force seizes control of the site, taking hostages and dragging Jack into their mission. Their leader wields the personal journal of Heinrich Himmler, commander of Hitler’s ruthless SS, and claims it will lead to a fortune unlike any other.
But Jack hasn’t always been a park ranger…
Before Yellowstone, he survived some of the world’s most violent war zones as a Delta operator—and those instincts never left him.
Forced into cooperation, Jack is trapped in an impossible situation. Refuse, and innocents die. Comply, and he may help unearth something that could spark a new Reich, one far more capable than the last.
Never in his life has Jack been stuck between a bigger rock and a harder place.
The “Definitive Edition” of Matt James’ #1 bestselling novel THE FORGOTTEN FORTUNE features expansive rewrites, revised edits, stunning new cover art, and a foreword by international bestselling author Luke Richardson, creator of the fan-favorite Eden Black series.
THE ROOSEVELT CONSPIRACY
A Jack Reilly Archaeological Thriller
On September 24th, 1906, in Wyoming’s Black Hills, Devils Tower became the USA’s first national monument. Was it simply because of its sheer majesty, or was there another, more secretive reason?
In the sleepy town of Cascade, Wyoming, a cryptic letter surfaces. It speaks of the "wealth of a nation"—a claim easily dismissed as historical fiction if not for the author’s identity: famed explorer and former President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt.
The letter also connects this vast wealth to the Seven Sisters of Native American folklore. The deadly correlation between the two is a mystery, even to Chatan, the young man of Lakota ancestry who discovered the message. Unsure who to trust, he turns to his uncle, Yellowstone park ranger Tatanka “Bull” Durham.
A secret this massive will not stay buried forever.
Bartholomew Creed, a ruthless casino owner drowning in debt, learns of the letter and mobilizes a swift, violent strike to seize it.
Sensing this danger, Bull recruits his partner, a man he trusts with his life: former Delta operator Jack Reilly. And as the body count rises, Jack and Bull must answer a final, terrifying question.
How far will a desperate man go to claim the wealth of a nation?
