Crusader Gold

An Action-Packed Quest for a Lost Treasure

Crusader Gold by David Gibbins, published in 2006 by Headline, is a gripping archaeological thriller that blends history, myth, and relentless adventure. For fans of Dan Brown and Clive Cussler, this fast-paced novel offers a thrilling ride through ancient secrets and modern-day danger.

When marine archaeologist Jack Howard discovers a clue to one of history’s greatest mysteries—the lost treasure of the Temple in Jerusalem—he embarks on a dangerous global quest. Legend has it that the gold was seized by the Romans and eventually taken by the Vikings... only to vanish without a trace. But Jack believes it may still exist—and he’s determined to find it.

From the icy fjords of Scandinavia to the deserts of the Middle East, Jack and his team face ruthless adversaries, deadly conspiracies, and ancient codes that must be deciphered before the treasure—and the truth—are lost forever.

Crusader Gold is a masterclass in historical suspense, combining real-world research with heart-racing fiction. Gibbins draws on his background as a marine archaeologist to add authenticity and depth to every page, making this more than just an adventure—it’s a journey into the past with consequences for the present.
