Madrugada: A Carlos Cortez Novel

By Ryan Peterson

Egypt, 1961. Carlos Cortez has left the Belgian Congo behind, and lives the comfortable life of a hotelier in bustling downtown Cairo. His tranquil life is abruptly put to an end, however, when his brother, a man he has not spoked to in almost fifteen years, arrives in Egypt for an unprompted, urgent visit. A trust and estate attorney from Houston, Miguel has uncovered information that could reveal the final resting place of an eccentric Spanish oil magnate who disappeared aboard his private jet years earlier. Cortez and his brother join forces with the daring cartographer Alia Hassan on an expedition into the heart of the Sahara Desert. Little do they know that they have been led into a dangerous expedition involving Russian assassins, warring Bedouin tribes, and Algerian freedom fighters, in a mad dash to discover an unimaginable fortune lost somewhere in the sands of the Sahara.MADRUGADA ("Daybreak") is the second adventure in the Carlos Cortez series, picking up roughly three years after the events of CONQUISTADOR (released in 2018). For fans of old-fashioned thrillers in the vein of Indiana Jones, this novel follows a trio of intrepid adventures on a perilous journey through Colonial Northern Africa.
