Tahitian Vault (Darwin Lacroix #10) Release Date: June 25, 2026

Published

The gold was a decoy. The truth is a death sentence.

Bora Bora was supposed to be a recovery project for archaeologist Darwin Lacroix and volcanologist Eyrún Stefánsdóttir. But when a shallow World War II grave yields a handful of Japanese gold coins, the island’s peaceful facade shatters.

The locals think they’ve found Yamashita’s Gold—a multi-billion dollar treasure lost to the Pacific since 1945. But as Darwin and Eyrún dig deeper, they realize the gold wasn’t meant to be found. It was meant to be a warning.

Hidden beneath the lagoon lies a secret facility built by a Japanese conglomerate in the final days of the war. They didn’t hide wealth; they hid a lethal scientific anomaly—a power source so unstable it could render the entire island uninhabitable.

Now, Shinmei Heavy Industries is back to finish what their predecessors started. With a fleet of cutting-edge salvage vessels and a ruthless agenda, they are racing to claim a technology that could dominate the global AI market—even if it poisons paradise to get there.

From the war archives of Australia to the high-tech labs of California, Darwin and his team must stop an eighty-year-old contingency plan before it reaches its lethal conclusion.

Imperial secrets. A dangerous awakening. Welcome to the 10th adrenaline-fueled Darwin Lacroix adventure.
