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.

ABOUT THE SERIES

The Nevada Kive Money Hunter Thrillers are globe-trotting, high-stakes adventure thrillers about a woman who makes a living doing what most of us only read about: tracking down lost fortunes, buried inheritances, and heirlooms the powerful would rather keep hidden.

Nevada Kive is a modern-day lost-and-hidden-fortune hunter — part investigator, part historian, part audacious thief of truth. She has the intellect of Sherlock Holmes, the field instincts of a seasoned operative, and the fearless spirit of an explorer. As she moves through sun-bleached ports, private archives, embassies, and forgotten estates, she uncovers what was taken, who took it, and why it still matters.

Each book is a complete international mystery, but together they build a larger tapestry of:

stolen legacies,
dynasties in decline,
colonial and wartime theft,
and women reclaiming power through knowledge, courage, and inheritance.

If you love action-adventure with brains, glamorous locations, and a heroine who can talk her way into a vault and climb out of a monastery window, this is your series.

Meet the Author

Rose Sandy writes fast-paced, female-centred international thrillers where history, technology, and hidden power intersect. Alongside her bestselling Decrypter novels, she created the Nevada Kive Money Hunter Thrillers to explore another side of global intrigue — the one happening in auction houses, old palazzos, private collections, and families with too many secrets.

Her heroines are always:

skilled,
morally awake,
and determined to reclaim what was stolen — whether that’s a code, a crown, or a legacy.

If readers enjoy authors like Clive Cussler, Steve Berry, or Dan Brown but want a woman leading the expedition, the Nevada Kive books are the natural next read.
