Secrets of the Totenkopf Rings by Barb Goodwin and
Doug Penikas is the second book in the Lost Treasures series, and it delivers a thrilling narrative that features espionage, betrayal,
and hidden historical elements. 19-year-old Becca has just survived the hunt
for the Royal Danish Egg when she discovers a new lead that leads to the
mysterious Totenkopf Rings given to Himmler’s SS in Nazi Germany. While this
could have been a sheer object of curiosity, it quickly plunges Becca into the
mysteries of World War II Nazi rings, clandestine organizations, and her family
secrets. Cryptic messages from a fallen comrade further entangle Becca in a
perilous chase across Europe to recover stolen artifacts, confront a
treacherous traitor, and decipher a coded message that could compromise global
security. Teamed with treasure hunter Reed Alexander Carter (RC), her journey
is fraught with peril, deception, and revelations that challenge her
understanding of loyalty and truth.
There is much to look forward to in this engaging thriller,
and readers will be delighted to follow the work of secret organizations like
the League of Griffins, a secret society that originated during the Crusades
and continues to operate in modern society. The characters are finely drawn,
and I was deeply moved by Becca’s intelligence and resourcefulness, as well as
RC’s complex nature, which evolves from being supportive and protective of
Becca to becoming a traitor. Mason Carter, the mysterious leader of the
Griffins, and the authors use this character to deepen the tension in the story.
The setting spans the opulent mansions of Germany, ancient castles in the Harz
Mountains, secret Griffin headquarters, and the labyrinthine streets of
European cities, creating a vivid backdrop for high-stakes espionage. The
organization’s hidden history heightens the intrigue, as do the Nazi rings’
cryptic inscriptions and the sinister Brotherhood of the Fox, a shadowy enemy
with a long-standing vendetta. Fans of The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz and
readers who enjoy histories and conspiracy-driven plots will find this book
irresistible. Secrets of the Totenkopf Rings is deftly plotted,
fast-paced, and intriguing.
