Together with a medieval history professor and a daring Mexican archeologist they travel through Spain, the Mali desert, the Caribbean Sea and the Mexican jungle. They face innumerable riddles and dangers, but in the end this search will uncover a much more important mystery.

..., I had doubts and even seriously questioned whether what I was doing had any meaning at all. But then I would go down to the beach, which I made sure was never far, and inhale the smell of the sea, listening to the waves and watching the leaves of the coconut trees reflecting the light of the tropical sun. It was the same scene in different places: the Caribbean, the Red Sea, Zanzibar or Thailand, but I always reached the same conclusion: I would never change this life full of beauty and excitement for all the houses in the world with a garden and a dog.
Utila was beginning to oppress me. For days I had been thinking about a change of scenery. Now that the diving season was coming to an end, it would not hurt Jack if I deprived him of one of his instructors. Besides, the atmosphere at the diving center was growing restless day by day, doubtless for the decline in customers. Therefore, it was not hard to decide to take a holiday and return to Barcelona, where I could see friends, family and as a bonus, find out more about my intriguing discovery.
I packed my scant belongings in a knapsack, carefully wrapping the heavy bell in an old sweater. I would have to pay for extra weight on the plane, apart from the fact that if I were caught at customs carrying an archaeological relic, I could easily spend a long time enjoying the well-known hospitality of the Honduran jails. Yet, I was willing to take the risk.
What I could not even begin to imagine at that moment, as I smuggled the piece along with my diving equipment, was all the adventures and dangers that decision would lead me to.
