An Imperial secret. A vanished wartime treasure. A Japanese artifact that could topple a nation.

When Nevada Kive, international money hunter, travels to Japan to find the descendants of a Meiji era artisan, she stumbles into a mystery that reaches from the Imperial court to the darkest days of World War II—and a plot that could trigger a modern crisis.

Hidden since the war's end, an artifact of supreme national importance lies waiting—one that a master artisan died protecting. This isn't just a family heirloom; it's a piece of Japan's soul, connected to the Imperial line itself. And its discovery could shatter the delicate balance of power in modern Japan.

From Kyoto's ancient temples to Tokyo's neon canyons, from tranquil tea houses to yakuza-controlled territories, Nevada must navigate a culture where honor matters more than money, and some secrets are worth more than life itself. The descendants she seeks have been hiding for generations, and for good reason—powerful forces want the artifact buried forever.

As Nevada races through Japan's bustling cities and serene countryside, she discovers that the yakuza aren't her only problem. Government officials, ultra-nationalists, and international collectors all want the Meiji master's final creation. In a land where tradition and technology collide, Nevada must ensure this priceless piece of history falls into the right hands—before it ignites a crisis that could consume a nation.

From Rose Sandy comes another breathtaking Nevada Kive money hunter thriller, where Imperial secrets meet modern conspiracy. Perfect for fans of James Clavell, Barry Eisler, and female-led adventure thrillers.

The eleventh mesmerizing adventure in the Nevada Kive Money Hunter Thrillers series—a complete standalone international mystery.
