GOLD FOR THE RISING SUN

THE EXPLOSION BROUGHT DOWN THE ENTRANCE TO THE TOMB, BURYING THE CHINESE PEASANTS, BUT KEEPING THE BULLION SAFE UNTIL THE JAPANESE MILITARY 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.
Another thriller from the prize-winning author of The Crying Stones.
