Fool's Gold Action Paperback Book by Warren Murphy Pulp Thriller 1983
(The Destroyer #52) Series of novels created by Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir about a U.S. government operative named Remo Williams. Remo Williams is a Newark cop framed for a crime and sentenced to death. His death is faked by the government so he can be trained as an assassin for CURE, a secret organization set up by President Kennedy to defend the country by working outside the bounds of the Constitution.
A corrupt dictator and an ancient enemy of Sinanju set out to crucify mankind on a cross of gold.
It's a routine archaeological find, on a routine archaeological dig -- until the strange inscription on a buried plaque is translated. Then all at once the entire world is prospecting for gold -- a whole mountain of it -- hidden centuries before by an ancient Latin American people. The U.S. is determined to stake a claim because that much gold, in the wrong hands, could destroy the free world's economy. But nothing's panning out, and the only person who can decipher the clues to the gold's location might not live long enough to complete the task. It seems everyone's trying to kill her... There's only one CURE for gold fever -- Remo and Chiun. But unless they strike it rich, this gold rush is bound to be a bust, and the free market along with it. Unfortunately, our heroes' luck is about played out...
