Mr. Wheels and the Templar Treasure - Nienacki Zbig

Mr. Wheels has been a huge smash hit in Europe for decades. 160 volumes of fan fiction (!), three cinematic releases (including one in 2023), two TV series.

But never a peep in English!

Until now.

(drum roll)

Voice One, dramatic: In 1310, King Philip the Fair of France found himself short of cash and decided to destroy the Order of Knights Templar and burn its members at the stake in order to seize their treasury. But he never found it. Sensing their impending doom, the knights had buried their gold. And this buried treasure has been the object of dreams, obsessions, and treasure hunts ever since.

And now... a newly discovered document suggests it could have been buried... in a Teutonic castle in Poland!

Voice Two, rational: Unlike the English Sherlock Holmes or the French inspector Maigret, the Polish Mr. Wheels does not deal with serial killers or cannibals; instead, he tracks gentlemen (and gentlewomen)thieves, forgers, and smugglers of... art. His mysteries come with the sort of original settings, fast action, humor, and attractive characters you expect from mystery best-sellers but also feature something unique: each has its own fascinating historical background.

Try it. It's just 2.99. I bet you will read the whole series.
