The Grey Ghost - Clive Cussler, Robin Burcell

This time out, the Fargos are in search of an extremely rare automobile with a killer history after a mysterious man claiming to be British royalty goes through Sam’s mother to arrange a meeting in Pebble Beach. The car, an early Rolls Royce prototype nicknamed the Gray Ghost, was first developed by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce back in 1906. It was stolen that same year in Manchester, the first theft in what would become a long history of being passed around by thieves from generation to generation.

Rumors suggest the car, which was last seen just after World War II, may now contain treasure, making the Gray Ghost even more valuable if one can, in fact, finally track it down.

Eventually, Sam and Remi discover that the great American detective Isaac Bell [of the Van Doren Detective Agency] once worked the case back in the day when a man named Marcus Peyton was accused of stealing the Gray Ghost. Bell happened to be in England tracking criminals who’d been targeting train cars and is said to have actually located the Rolls Royce, though it’s long been passed around since then. Now, it’s a relative of Peyton’s who seeks the Fargos’ help, hoping the duo can clear his grandfather’s name and, in the process, find the car that could be worth up to $50 million... or maybe even quadruple that price tag if the chest of rumored 1906 gold sovereigns really was stashed in the car.

As the treasure hunting couple heads off to England in search of the Gray Ghost, they quickly find out that they’re hardly the only people looking for the car. Another group has their eye on the prize too, and they’re willing to do whatever it takes in order to bring home the Rolls Royce... and the treasure.
