Marah Chase and the Fountain of Youth

Jay Stringer

Marah Chase series

"Marah Chase has everything she wanted. Her academic career is back on track, shes moved into a Manhattan apartment, and a dream job is waiting at the American Museum of Natural History. So why cant she seem to stop slipping into her old ways, traveling the world in search of lost relics and buried treasure? Back out in the field, Chase finds the lost Ark of the Covenant, a discovery that could trigger a holy war, as religions and nations argue over ownership of the sacred item. The Ark also brings Chase into conflict with another legendary relic runner, August Nash, a clash the entire underground smuggling community has been waiting for, and not one that will end anytime soon. Upon returning home, Chase is hired by US soda billionaire Lauren Stanford to find the Fountain of Youth. At first, Chase dismisses this idea. But then Stanford tells her that an old friend found some information on the Fountains location and is now missing. Chase agrees to take the job--but only to find her friendand enlists allies along the way on a trail from New York to London, and then on to Glasgow. Behind the myth, they find, lies a much older secret, and now theyre in a race to find the Fountain ahead of Nash and his nefarious cohorts. Whoever gets there first will have control over the future of humanity." -- Goodreads.com
