The Matinicus “Matt” Hawkins Adventure series features a former Navy diver who gets pulled into treasure hunts and archaeological mysteries around the world. The Emerald Scepter (2013) and The Minoan Cipher (2016) send Hawkins on fast-paced adventures that blend action with historical puzzles.
The series has a similar feel to the NUMA Files novels that Kemprecos co-wrote with Clive Cussler, with a focus on maritime settings and ancient secrets. Hawkins is a more solitary hero than Kurt Austin, but he shares the same resourcefulness and comfort in dangerous waters.
