The Deadly Curse of Toco-Rey is a young-adult fiction story written by seasoned veteran of the thriller genre Frank E. Peretti.
Toco-Rey has all the elements of an Indiana Jones tale mixed up with Stephen King fantasy/horror and tied up with a good dose of religion. In this Cooper Kids adventure novel, Dr Cooper and his two kids Jay and Lila are out to retrieve the lost treasure of Kachi-Tochetin (Toco-Rey), hidden somewhere in a Central American jungle and to find out what happened to another search team that died mysteriously. They find more than treasure, however, and dig up a fatal curse as well, which threatens to end all of their lives prematurely.
