Their cities boasted palaces and pyramids filled with gold that rivaled the treasure tombs of Ancient Egypt. For countless generations, the people endured deadly disease, genocidal conquest, and unending warfare. Still, they waited for the leader who would rise and unite the cities and villages into the next empire, a kingdom of peace. In this exotic cradle of Mesoamerican Civilization, Rebecca Quinto, notorious art curator and adventurer, seeks the ancient wonders that united heaven to earth and spawned a three-thousand-year history of life, death, beauty, and passion. From the Latin American rain forests to the verdant lowland plains, facing murder, kidnapping, and gang violence, Rebecca gathers her coterie of colleagues and friends to confront the nefarious supremacies that lust for treasures of The Last Maya.
