The Lost City of Z by David Grann

I read this one some time ago but I really enjoyed it.

The book talks about British explorer Percy Fawcett and his efforts to find the Lost City of Z in Brazil.

Not to give too much away, but Fawcett and his crew pretty much disappear during one of their searches in 1925.

There are lots of theories about what happened to him and many explorers who decades later are still looking for him.

Some adventurers disappeared decades later searching for him too.

In fact, the search for Fawcett has become more of an obsession for some than the search for Z.

Few clues have turned up about Fawcett. The only exception was the discovery of a ring that he was wearing when he went missing. There is debate about the last path he took, and the the exact location of one of his camps.

At the end of the book, the author has a bit of a revelation about the location of Z.

This would be a great book to read for the season if you are more interested in strange and unexplained mysteries than ghosts and goblins.
