The Sacred Well by Antoinette May
A young reporter in 1923, Alma Reed accompanies archaeologists to the ruins of
Chichen Itza, where a fortune in Mayan artifacts has been stolen from a

damns them as doomed political pawns, Alma can't help but wonder if the curse is
not, in fact, very real.

¨Much has been made in recent years of my attempt to stop it, my plea to Pilate telling him of my dream....¨
