THE EXPLOSION BROUGHT DOWN THE ENTRANCE TO THE TOMB, BURYING THE CHINESE PEASANTS, BUT KEEPING THE BULLION SAFE UNTIL THE JAPANESE CAN RETURN.Hidden inside a long-forgotten ancient mountainside tomb, lies a small part of the 6,000 tons of gold looted by Japanese forces from Nanking during the Second World War. A letter written by Sergeant Ichiro to his father lies forgotten, finally emerging into the light of day seventy-one years later. The strands of destiny weave themselves together, drawing a young Australian and his part-Japanese girlfriend towards the death and wealth which await the finder of the forgotten hoard, a hoard which some believe still rightfully belongs to the old ruling class of Japan.A thriller from the prize-winning author of The Crying Stones.
