A treasure gone missing. A coin that shouldn't be there. And a lighthouse with no exit. The Salvage Yard is still there. So is the secret headquarters. And so are the Three Investigators-smarter than ever, a little older, and ready for their most challenging cases yet. Conceived and co-written by Elizabeth Arthur, the daughter of Robert Arthur, the creator of the Three Investigators universe, this exciting reboot of the classic series takes its iconic characters into a new age. They return re-imagined, reinvigorated, and more relevant than ever. In the eighth book of a 26-book story arc, Pete is pumped when Rafael Solares asks The Three Investigators to look into an unexpected-and potentially explosive-case. Rafael's friend, Dr. Godwin Cuthbert Stonebridge, an esteemed archaeologist and professor at UC Santa Barbara, is rumored to be involved in smuggling ancient Greek antiquities out of the country-a claim that Stonebridge is completely unaware of. The case takes a dramatic turn when the Minoan Treasure - an extraordinary collection of artifacts that Stonebridge himself discovered-is brazenly stolen from the Santa Barbara Museum of Antiquities. The police soon collect a DNA sample from Stonebridge, and The Three Investigators head to Santa Barbara to investigate. At a shop called Aegean Treasures, Mallory makes a surprising discovery: an authentic silver Alexander tetradrachm hidden among reproduction coins. The next day, while with Rafael and Dr. Stonebridge, the team is shocked when police arrive to arrest the professor. But questions linger. Why is Stonebridge so secretive about the plain silver bracelet he's wearing? What is the link between the theft and the staff of Greek billionaire Dimitri Dimitriou? And where have the thieves hidden the treasure? With the help of their old friend Christos Markos in Greece and Stan Bloomberg, an IT expert at the museum, the team narrows down their suspects. Pete and Mallory stake out two of them, while Jupiter and Bob are dragged into a tense confrontation in a dark SUV. Soon, The Three Investigators find themselves locked in an isolated lighthouse on Dimitriou's private estate, while the thieves sail away with the Minoan Treasure. Can Jupiter's exceptional memory, two old flashlights, and the United States Coast Guard help them turn the tide in time? Join Jupiter, Pete, Bob, and Mallory as they race to save a priceless treasure and uncover the truth behind an international conspiracy in this high-octane mystery. The chase for the truth has never been more thrilling!
