The Romanov Ransom by Clive Cussler and Robin Burcell

"The Romanov Ransom" by  Clive Cussler and Robin Burcell -  Sudden death.

This book is published by  Penguin UK in 2017 and has 480 pages. This is Book 9 of Fargo adventures. 

When Bolsheviks imprisoned the Tsar, the dowager empress (his mother) paid a huge ransom for the release of ruling Romanov family. The ransom went missing. Fast forward to present time. Sam and Remy Fargo are following the trail of Romanov ransom. 

Did the Bolsheviks get Romanov ransom? Where is it? What is the intended utilization? What is Wolf guard? What is Operation Werewolf?

The book takes us from the time of Bolshevik uprising to the present day.  The Romanov ransom has gone missing. Fargo's happen to catch the trail. Wolf guard is looking for it. A German and a Russian crime boss is looking for it.

Characters in the book are: 

Philanthropists and treasure hunters Sam and Remy Fargo assisted by their reliable assistant Salma. Mysterious Russian crime boss Tatiana and her bodyguard Victor. German crime boss Rolf and head of Wolf guard Leopold. 

Trait of Fargo's not abandoning the person accompanying then is predominantly displayed in the story. They do not lose their sense of humour in the adversity. 

The story builds up. It takes us from Russia to Argentina. The plane is found. Fargo's are close to the discovery when tables turn. Afight back from Fargo's is expected. But then the climax finishes in less than a minute. It's a sudden death. Author had lost the opportunity to create drama.
