The Iron Door (Brian Sadler Archaeological Mysteries)

EVVY SILVER AWARD FOR THRILLER/SUSPENSE!. Antiquities dealer and television personality Brian Sadler joins his old friend Harry Harrison, whose term as U.S. president is ending, in a trip to the mountains of southwestern Oklahoma in search of a fabled lost cavern.. The Cave of the Iron Door is a legendary depository for vast treasure - outlaw loot or Spanish gold, perhaps - that several people claim to have seen over the past hundred and fifty years. On certain days when the sun's rays hit a remote canyon wall for a few seconds at sunset, the glimmering reflection of an iron door can be seen high in the cliffs.. Brian and Harry venture into the rugged Wichita Mountains to learn the truth behind the legend, but discovering what lies within the cramped, winding passages is much different and far more dangerous than either could have dreamed possible.. Brian's wife Nicole Farber is thrust into a role she never imagined and faces an extortionist who threatens to reveal a dark secret from her past. What he wants is the same thing her husband seeks, and he will go to any length to stop Brian and take everything for himself.. When an earthquake closes the only way out for Brian and Harry, a strange man who calls himself the Protector offers to help, but is he on their side or that of their adversary? Facing death in a cave, they make a decision that could cost them everything ... or allow them to prove the legend real.
