"Inca gold",by Clive Cussler.

Nearly five centuries ago a fleet of boats landed mysteriously on an island in an inland sea. There, an anvient Andean people hid a golden hoard greater than that of any pharaoh, then they and their treasure vanished into history-until now.
1998, the Andes Mountains of Peru. Dirk Pitt dives into an ancient sacrificial pool, saving two American arcgaeologists from certain drowning. But his death- defying rescue is only the beginning, as it draws the intrepid Pitt into a vortex of darkness and danger, corruption and betrayal. A sinister crime syndicate has traced the long-lost treasure-worth almost a billion dollars-from the Andes to the banks of a hidden underground river flowing beneath a Mexican desert. Driven by burning greed and a ruthless bloodthurst, the syndicate is racing to seize the golden prize..and to terminate the one man who can stop them: Dirk Pitt.
