The Gold of the Gods was first published in 1915. By then, Arthur Benjamin Reeves series of mysteries involving Professor Craig Kennedy and his sidekick, journalist Walter Jameson, had become something of a household name. Altogether, he wrote 18 novels featuring these two characters, and several short stories. Our story follows a theft of an ancient Inca dagger from an archeology professor. He asks Kennedy to assist in bringing it back. But there are threats beyond ones of mortal men, which follow that relic dagger. Kennedy now must follow the trail of blood, spilled by the dagger. Will he overcome the darkness that he is about to face?
