In the steamy Far East, a legendary treasure beckons….
Everyone in the Golden Triangle and in the world of antiquities has heard The Rumor, but few believe it’s more than local myth – until high in the Himalayas a Buddhist monk is murdered and his monastery ransacked. Among the stolen treasures is the most sacred icon of the Eastern world – the gold- and jewel-encrusted head of Guatama Buddha. When a wealthy client calls on collector and adventurer Lee Rivers to track down the macabre – and priceless – relic, he finds the assignment irresistible.
Rivers' specialties are Asian antiquities, exotic women, and high-priced danger. But nothing he has survived so far can prepare him for this unholy quest. And no woman he has known can compare to Tysee, the daughter of a notorious Burmese drug warlord. Together, Rivers and Tysee find themselves pitted against drug traffickers, ex-Nazis, Sikh and Muslim extremists, Russian Intelligence and the CIA – all ruthlessly determined to recover the Head at any cost.
It’s a riveting tale of non-stop action and taut expense that’s quite unlike anything you’ve read before.
