Indiana James: Recuerde el arma dormida

This Spanish-language pulp adventure "Recuerde el arma dormida" (Remember the Sleeping Weapon), attributed to Indiana James, follows an American adventurer who awakens exhausted on a Brazilian beach after breaking Olympic swimming records. Stranded in a remote fishing village, he receives an anonymous envelope containing $10,000 and a cryptic reference to the "Corazón de Oro" (Heart of Gold). Intrigued, he tracks down Oliver Hodgson, a wealthy man who reveals his true purpose: locating the legendary "Libro de Toth" (Book of Thoth), an ancient Egyptian text supposedly containing secrets of lost civilizations. Hodgson claims the book was smuggled to Istanbul before Alexandria's destruction and has been pursued throughout history by emperors and religious authorities. He hires the protagonist for $20,000 plus expenses to retrieve it, directing him to travel via Venetian ship to Istanbul.
