"The outstanding new Fargo adventure from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author. Baffin Island: Husband-and-wife team Sami and Remi Fargo are on a climate-control expedition in the Arctic, when to their astonishment they discover a Viking ship in the ice, perfectly preserved--and filled with pre-Columbian artifacts from Mexico. How can that be? As they plunge into their research, tantalizing clues about a link between the Vikings and the legendary Toltec feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl--and a fabled object known as the Eye of Heaven--begin to emerge. But so do many dangerous people. Soon the Fargos find themselves on the run through jungles, temples, and secret tombs, caught between treasure hunters, crime cartels, and those with a far more personal motivation for stopping them. At the end of the road will be the solution to a thousand-year-old mystery-or death."--

Not the best of the Fargo books. Seems like several of their actions were un-Fargo like. Starting with going to Cuba, noticing a tail and thinking "we must have been sold out by a one of our staff" utterly discounting the bureaucratic trail the left just entering Cuba, not to mention the communist gov't just being suspicious of Americans, let alone treasure hunters that are American. Then, following that up with breaking into a gov't military museum, thinking all they need to do if caught is get into international water and they are worry free. Kinda short sighted since I'm sure there is at least one country that the Fargos would want to someday visit would be willing to extradite them back to Cuba--Russia and Venezuela come to mind
The overall story was entertaining, but their judgement lapse kept briefly taking me out of it.
