From the book’s description:
Sara West is a beautiful 28-year-old graduate student on a scientific expedition in Africa – who stumbles upon a cache of WWII Nazi files in the wreck of a German bomber hidden in the jungle. The files reveal the location of a multi-billion-dollar war-chest, secretly deposited by the Nazis in numbered Swiss bank accounts at the end of WWII.
