The Mystery of the Hellenistic Hoard (New Three Investigators)

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 reimagined, 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.
