The series follows the adventures of Suzi and Ty Carruth, the children of famed Archaeologist, Dr. Ellie Carruth. The stories pick up following the untimely death of their father at the hands of (the book’s antagonist) The Western European Antiquities Network (WEAN). Suzi and Ty are mischievous and smart, and their exploits are exciting as they travel the globe helping their mother look for the world’s most famous and illusive antiquities. But with The Network at every turn, they meet danger head on and must find a way to outsmart these ruthless black market antiquities dealers.
The archeological world is scrambling after an artifact, that once belonged to ancient royalty, has suddenly surfaced. Those in the archaeological world, both good and bad, believe that the location of Nefertiti’s secret burial chamber may have finally been found. Dr. Carruth and her team of specialist are called to Egypt by the Cairo Museum of Antiquities to locate the possible burial chamber. But there are mysterious forces at work to keep the Queen, and an ancient curse, well hidden. Unfortunately, the black market antiquities group, The Network, has also learned of the artifact’s existence; and have put in place schemes to locate and obtain this and any other items they can sell on the black market. Young Suzi and Ty Carruth, along with two Egyptian friends, find themselves face to face with danger as they navigate between these forces of good and bad.

In this next edition of the Carruth Chronicles, the Carruth family decide to take a well-deserved vacation to Wyoming, but the universe has other plans. When Tyler and his cousin, Jake, find themselves in a unusual predicament and very unfamiliar territory. They must rely their wits and the help of family and some of history’s most notorious train robbers to help them out.
After a relaxing but rather unusual vacation out west, Ellie gets an email from her old college roommate who is a forensic anthropologist in Peru. Since this was the last known location of her husband Jason’s plane before it went down in the Amazon jungle two years ago, Ellie suspects, his plane has been found. Once in Peru, the Carruth’s are faced with real danger from the Western European Antiquities Network when it becomes a race of life and death for Suzi, Tyler, and their new friend Sara de la Funté. An old familiar face shows up to help save the day.
Suzi and Ty’s mom, Ellie, and her team have been called to Paris to investigate an area of the underground Catacombs that has never been excavated. This was supposed to an easy cut and dry excavation with no real importance. One Ellie hoped to use as a working vacation. But in pure Carruth fashion, nothing is ever that simple. The kids find themselves in the middle of a network of French and American spies, an unusual 725-year-old leather bound journal, and a very driven Malcolm Maldroon, the leader of the ruthless Western European Antiquities Network. Maldroon’s desire for this journal far exceeds anyone’s expectations.
