I come to the collective wisdom to ask if anyone can offer any clues to
the identification of a book. I wasn't given a great deal of information to
go on....

Patron read the book a couple of years ago in hardcover. She only remembers
the following details:

There is a scene where a man (most likely the villain) and a woman who was
trying to escape from something come to a river while trying to cross a
mountain range. The only way to do this is to swim under the water and come
up in certain location where there is an opening to an escape route. The man
show the woman where to access this opening. There is a second crossing
scene where the man may not make it all the way. She reports that this scene
was very suspenseful and gripping and would like very much to read the book
again.

Any suggestions very much appreciated!

Hi,

I could be wrong, but this really sounds like a scene
from one of Clive Cusslers books. It was a very
suspenseful, and at one point Dirk almost drowns...but
alas, the immortal Dirk survives. I wish I could
remember which book it was. If I had to guess, I
would say Inca Gold...but I can't be sure. Anyway,
Cussler is worth a try...
