| Summary |
"In the Tiger’s Lair" by Leo E. Miller is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Stanley Livingston and Ted Boyle, who return to the Andes Mountains of Peru in search of the hidden treasure of the Incas after previously escaping its dangers. As they navigate through the challenges of their quest, they confront formidable foes and mysterious circumstances that threaten their success. At the start of the novel, the protagonists reflect on their past adventures and the treasure hidden behind the great wall of the Incan kingdom. They prepare to retrieve the gold they had discovered two years prior, only to find that circumstances have changed drastically. They encounter unforeseen obstacles, including their plans being thwarted by the treacherous Quizquiz, son of the Inca, and a series of unfortunate events that lead to a surprising turn of fate. Their hopes for a simple retrieval mission quickly escalate into a complex struggle against both natural barriers and human adversaries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
