In the tiger's lair

"In the Tiger’s Lair" by Leo E. Miller is an early 20th-century adventure that follows Stanley Livingston and Ted Boyle as they journey to the Andes Mountains of Peru seeking Inca treasure, a mission made more challenging by dangerous foes and puzzling situations. What starts as a simple attempt to retrieve gold discovered two years prior quickly turns treacherous, as the protagonists' plans are disrupted, and they face unexpected obstacles, including the villainous Quizquiz. The journey evolves into a complex fight against nature's challenges and human enemies who are after the same riches the pair seek.
