Sam e Remi Fargo, cacciatori di tesori del terzo millennio, si trovano al largo della Louisiana, impegnati nell’esplorazione di alcuni villaggi indigeni sommersi. La passione per i misteri dell’antichità e la capacità di riportare alla luce preziosi reperti hanno diffuso nel mondo la loro fama. E forse è proprio per questo che non sono soli: qualcuno li segue e li intralcia, sabotando le loro attrezzature. Prima che possano scoprire altro, una telefonata li costringe ad allontanarsi: è il loro amico Albrecht Fischer, professore di archeologia classica, che afferma di avere fatto un importante rinvenimento e di avere bisogno di loro. Fin qui, niente di strano. Stranissimo, invece, quello che i Fargo scoprono quando lo incontrano, in un sito di scavi top secret. Perché c’è di mezzo uno dei più celebri e inestimabili tesori di tutti i tempi: la tomba segreta di Attila, che secondo la leggenda contiene una fortuna in oro e gioielli. Poco dopo il loro incontro, il professore viene rapito. Chi poteva sapere della sua scoperta? E chi c’è dietro il sequestro? I Fargo si mettono sulle sue tracce, ritrovandosi ben presto alla ricerca del sepolcro dell’unno, in un lungo viaggio che li porterà dall’Ungheria all’Italia, passando per la Francia, la Russia e il Kazakistan e che li costringerà ad affrontare criminali e cacciatori di tesori senza scrupoli. Un’adrenalinica caccia al tesoro sta per cominciare...

A finalist for the Barry Award for Best Thriller Edgar Award-winning author Thomas Perry writes thrillers that move "almost faster than a speeding bullet" ( Wall Street Journal ). The Old Man is his latest whip-smart standalone novel. To all appearances, Dan Chase is a harmless retiree in Vermont with two big mutts and a grown daughter he keeps in touch with by phone. But most sixty-year-old widowers don't have multiple driver's licenses, savings stockpiled in banks across the country, and a bugout kit with two Beretta Nanos stashed in the spare bedroom closet. Most have not spent decades on the run. Thirty-five years ago, as a young hotshot in army intelligence, Chase was sent to Libya to covertly assist a rebel army. When the plan turned sour, Chase reacted according to his own ideas of right and wrong, triggering consequences he could never have anticipated. And someone still wants him dead because of them. Just as he had begun to think himself finally safe, Chase must reawaken his survival instincts to contend with the history he has spent his adult life trying to escape. Armed mercenaries, spectacularly crashed cars, a precarious love interest, and an unforgettable chase scene through the snow--this is lethal plotting from one of the best in crime fiction.
