The Treasure of Tundavala Gap
A Mateus de Silva Adventure
A hidden treasure. A dangerous journey. An epic quest begins.
Mateus’ world of dusty academic tomes and quiet libraries shatters when he uncovers a secret that will thrust him into a deadly international treasure hunt. His late grandfather, a decorated Cuban Army colonel, left behind more than just memories—a hidden fortune lies somewhere in the war-torn Angolan wilds.
Armed with only a tattered map and cryptic war letters, Mateus and his daredevil best friend Tay race against time and a ruthless crime syndicate to claim a legacy buried in blood and shadows. But as A Empresa, Angola’s most feared criminal organization, closes in, Mateus must find the courage to step beyond the sheltered halls of academia and embrace the adventurer within, discovering strengths he never knew he possessed.
With escalating danger at every turn, Mateus and Tay race to stay alive and claim the precious treasure. Along the way, they befriend Romiana, their shrewd and charming Angolan guide, who risks everything to help them. Will Mateus summon enough courage to survive and embrace his grandfather’s legacy?
Join Mateus, Tay, and Romiana in this adrenaline-fueled thrill ride — a gripping tale perfect for fans of Clive Cussler, Wilbur Smith, and Indiana Jones. The secrets of Tundavala Gap await, promising an adventure so cinematic and gripping, you won’t be able to put it down until the final, explosive climax.
Schmoll’s novel punches like a snub-nosed .357 but in his firm grip this multi-generational, cross-cultural thriller hits its mark and promises more to come.
