hand carved leather journal purchased at a Chicago book auction promises an adventure in New Mexico for Jacqueline Tracy and her friends. Instead, they find themselves followed by a modern day conquistador who will stop at nothing to have the book and the secrets it holds. 

Pedro’s journal described an expedition that began in February of 1539 led by the Franciscan friar, Marcos De Niza on a search for the mythical Seven Cities of Gold. Pedro accompanied the Spaniards disguised as a priest, but his writings suggest he was far from holy.

As the group follows the ancient clues and maps to the Land of Enchantment, Samuel Barnes uses his wealth and influence to track them. Are the adventure-seeking Chicagoans ready for a show down with the man who believes himself the Emperor of Cibola?

Ms. Sheldon has mixed adventure, terror, history, and the beauty of New Mexico into a story I didn't want to put down. The characters, even the worst of them, molded a certain fascination into the story.  I want to keep my eye on this author's output, I'm sure it will be interesting.

Jean Sheldon’s latest book, Seven Cities of Greed, sets a new gold standard for mysteries. …her descriptions are very vivid, and along with her excellent knack at character development and creating characters who seem three dimensional, Jean Sheldon is quickly turning into one of my favorite mystery authors.  There’s plenty of mystery and suspense throughout the novel, and you want to keep reading late into the night to find out what happens next. I really liked Jean Sheldon’s first novel, the historical mystery about WWII spies and women pilots, The Woman in the Wing, and in Seven Cities of Greed, Sheldon shows continued growth as a writer and that she is a definite force to be reckoned with as one of today’s most talented mystery authors. If you love reading mysteries full of action and adventure, you should mine this rich vein of gold today, and strike the mother lode for yourselves, as I did!

Seven Cities of Greed is a light-hearted Indiana Jones type mystery.  The plot moves swiftly and there is good character development.  I enjoyed reading it quite a bit and give it 5 out of 5 stars.
