When Steve, Matt, and Jenny learn about a long-lost Egyptian statue hidden somewhere near the city of Beachdale, they jump at the chance of solving another mystery. But as their investigation deepens, they discover a couple of very disturbing details: first, the statue is supposedly haunted; and second, two rather large gun-toting foreigners are also interested in the treasure.
When Steve, Matt, and Jenny learn about a long-lost Egyptian statue hidden somewhere near the city of Beachdale, they jump at the chance of solving another mystery. But as their investigation deepens, they discover a couple of very disturbing details: first, the statue is supposedly haunted; and second, two rather large gun-toting foreigners are also interested in the treasure.
Determined to find the statue, the trio delves deeper into the mystery, encountering a web of danger unlike anything they have ever seen. The detectives brave catacombs, underwater caverns, and booby-trapped tunnels, until finally, they begin to unravel the secrets behind the haunted statue. As the foreigners close in on them, the three friends must use all their wits to out-smart their enemies and retrieve the treasure.
Excerpt
Steve led the way toward the basement entrance. “You know, the fact that the scroll was still in the coffin means that we are the first people to have found this scroll since it was buried here over three hundred and fifty years ago.” He felt a burst of pride.
“Well, yeah,” Jenny said. “Who else but the Decoders could’ve found it?”
Matt gave a short laugh. “Because, seriously, who else but us would’ve put up with the dirt and the rats?”
Jenny clapped. “Right? No one but us has ever been down here.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t say that.” The new voice came from in front of them.
The trio froze and moved the beams from their cells up from the ground. Two large men, each weighing at least two hundred pounds, stood blocking the tunnel, and they both had guns pointed at the kids!
