Plot

Sam and Remi Fargo go on another quest to discover another lost treasure, this time artifacts that disappeared when the Russian Romanov dynasty came to an end. Their hunt for this treasure takes them through northern Africa, Europe and South America. They find they are not the only ones hunting for this treasure. Others hunt, as well. One group is a shadowy organization known as the Werewolves, which is intent on establishing a Nazi Fourth Reich. Sam and Remi have to watch where they go and what they do at every turn and they do not know who they can trust.
