      About This Book

      1988 started with a bang in Sydney's Chinatown, and it wasn't just the fireworks. While the rest of the country was celebrating, the biggest bank job in Australia's history was taking place. The press called it "The Great Chinese Take-Away". It the bank safety deposit boxes were items more valuable than money.

      A gold key with a dragon on it: why did the Chen family want it back so badly?

      It started as a routine case for Claudia Valentine, but her hunt for the key spins her into a world of ancient treasures and modern Triad killings, through sleazy back streets and exotic oriental temples. And nothing is as it seems.
