Montezuma's Revenge

Tony Hawkin, Apache Indian and manager of the book and print shop in Washington's National Gallery, is recruited as an art expert by the F.B.I. A priceless daVinci painting, thought to be destroyed in the war, has surfaced in Mexico. Hawkin is to go there and ascertain whether the painting is genuine, and try to obtain it.

The death of his Mexican connection plunges Hawkin into increasingly bizarre adventures with Israeli, Italian, German and U.S agencies who want to get their hands on the painting.
