The Czarina's Lost Heir: The Money Hunter Series, Book 5 - Rose Sandy

The Nevada Kive Money Hunter Thrillers are globe-trotting, high-stakes adventure thrillers about a woman who makes a living doing what most of us only read about: tracking down lost fortunes, buried inheritances, and heirlooms the powerful would rather keep hidden.

Nevada Kive is a modern-day lost-and-hidden-fortune hunter — part investigator, part historian, part audacious thief of truth. She has the intellect of Sherlock Holmes, the field instincts of a seasoned operative, and the fearless spirit of an explorer. As she moves through sun-bleached ports, private archives, embassies, and forgotten estates, she uncovers what was taken, who took it, and why it still matters.

Each book is a complete international mystery, but together they build a larger tapestry of:

• stolen legacies,
• dynasties in decline,
• colonial and wartime theft,
• and women reclaiming power through knowledge, courage, and inheritance.

If you love action-adventure with brains, glamorous locations, and a heroine who can talk her way into a vault and climb out of a monastery window, this is your series.

Rose Sandy writes fast-paced, female-centred international thrillers where history, technology, and hidden power intersect. Alongside her bestselling Decrypter novels, she created the Nevada Kive Money Hunter Thrillers to explore another side of global intrigue — the one happening in auction houses, old palazzos, private collections, and families with too many secrets.

Her heroines are always:

• skilled,
• morally awake,
• and determined to reclaim what was stolen — whether that’s a code, a crown, or a legacy.

If readers enjoy authors like Clive Cussler, Steve Berry, or Dan Brown but want a woman leading the expedition, the Nevada Kive books are the natural next read.

• Female Indiana Jones / Lara Croft energy – stylish, clever, fearless
• Treasure hunt & inheritance mysteries
• Secret histories revealed – what families, empires, and regimes covered up
• Every book = new location (Venice, Istanbul, Buenos Aires, Prague, Himalayas…)
• Wealth, art & royal legacies – lost heir, missing codex, stolen crown piece
• Enemies who collect people and artefacts – shadow buyers, black-market brokers, old-money patrons
• Romantic undercurrent – tension on the job, attraction with the wrong ally, “we shouldn’t but we might”
• Competence fantasy – heroine speaks the language, knows the history, can handle herself in a chase

• • Found records / old letters / archives clue-trail
