About Golden Secrets: High octane thriller based on historical events (Chronicles of "TAXMAN" Jordan Duncan)

The conspiracy didn’t end. It expanded. Jordan Duncan survived his first collision with a system built to protect itself. Now the fallout follows him beyond U.S. borders. When Jordan and his longtime ally Jimmy Delgado set sail from Southern California to recover gold bars promised for services rendered years earlier, the mission appears straightforward. It isn’t. The discovery that the gold has been relocated pulls them into a far more dangerous pursuit, one tied to secrets buried in war, money, and power. As the trail unfolds, Jordan uncovers a brutal history connecting Central American civil conflict, covert CIA operations, illegal gold mining in Peru, and modern drug cartels operating across Mexico. Every step forward draws attention from forces willing to kill to keep the past hidden. A former enemy resurfaces. A ruthless adversary known as “El Diablo” closes in. Survival depends on Jordan’s ability to outthink killers, navigate foreign terrain, and decide who can be trusted when the stakes turn deadly. From the coast of Mexico to the heart of San Miguel de Allende, Golden Secrets drives Jordan Duncan into a high-risk chase where greed, corruption, and long-buried crimes collide. The closer he gets to the truth, the narrower his path out becomes. Inspired by real historical events, Golden Secrets is a high-octane political thriller that blends international intrigue, relentless tension, and grounded realism.

EARLY REVIEW "I loved Golden Secrets for so many reasons. It was very well written and provided great insight into another world with compelling characters. The plot really worked because of how well the story was paced. It was beautifully crafted! I can’t wait for Jordan’s next adventure. I’m getting to admire the guy!!!" - Joan T. REVIEW CURATOR OF MANUSCRIPTS: "Golden Secrets is a high-octane, globe-trotting thriller about treasure, betrayal, and blood-soaked history that somehow mixes Tom Clancy intensity with Narcos grit and makes it work. From SoCal to San Miguel de Allende with Jordan Duncan, a taxpayer advocate turned action hero (a combo I didn’t know I needed until now), dodging cartels, eluding ex-adversaries, and enough moral gray zones to make even “El Diablo” sweat. This isn’t just fiction, it’s fiction with receipts. The backdrop? Real historical events, such as the Salvadoran civil war, illegal gold mining in Peru, and political corruption, feel all too believable. The pacing? Surgical. The tension? Enough to make caffeine obsolete. It’s smart, gritty, grounded, and dripping with cinematic potential." Review by Deborah Williams - Curator of Manuscripts
