Description
A Betrayed Archaeologist. A Ghost from the Past. A Dozen Worthy Sacrifices.
Expedition leader Hiram Kane is holed up in his native England recovering from wounds both physical and mental, when his family receives a mysterious anonymous letter that dredges up nightmares from the past.
Could it also offer a ray of unexpected hope?
Across the globe beneath a forgotten Aztec pyramid, a disillusioned archaeology professor is about to unleash his wrath. How? Brutally murdering a dozen innocent victims in an ancient sacrificial ritual.
When the modern and ancient worlds collide and the unhinged professor starts committing unimaginable blood-spilling atrocities on the adolescent virgins, Kane is forced to make an impossible choice; Will he sacrifice the love of his life to save the innocent girls?
The Feathered Serpent is book 3 in the internationally bestselling Hiram Kane action thriller series, and will appeal to fans of Clive Cussler, Nick Thacker, Ernest Dempsey, and Russell Blake.

About the Author
Englishman Steven Moore grew up by the seaside, thus his first true joy was the great outdoors. His innate love of travel and a degree in anthropology, archaeology, and art history, help inform his fiction writing. Steven also loves painting, photography, and both playing and watching sport.The travel bug bit the now perpetual nomad early, and to date Steven has lived and worked on five continents, and visited almost seventy countries. Steven combines an age-old writing adage; Write what you know, with his own mantra; Write where you know, and sets most of his novels in places in which he has either lived or spent an extended period of time.When not on the road, Steven divides his time between Norwich, UK, and Tacoma, USA, which he shares with his rescue cats Ernest Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald (Ernie and Fitz), and his rescue puppy, Charles Dickens. Oh yes, and his beautiful travel writer wife, Leslie.A lifelong love of food, wine, and beer, have demanded a new-found love of yoga and hiking in order to fend off the imminent arrival of middle age.You can find more of Steven's books here: stevenmooreauthor.com
