Patriotic War of 1812. A detachment of French soldiers carries out a secret mission: for some unknown reason, they need to immediately get rid of the Emperor’s looted trophies, only the responsible soldiers disappear without a trace, as do boxes with unknown artifacts. More than two centuries have passed since then, but the lost treasures of Napoleon haunt treasure hunters, and it’s unlikely that businessman Matvey Gromov could have predicted what his sincere desire to fulfill his childhood dream would drag him into. What is so special that the French hid at the bottom of the lake and what does the mysterious trophy have to do with Matvey’s past? Previously, the book was published under the title “Napoleon’s Treasure.”
