About This Book
IT'S TOUGH TO KEEP COOL WHEN THE HEAT IS ON
Japanese-American Rei Shimura finally has a life to be proud of in Tokyo, running her own antiques business and living with her Scottish lawyer boyfriend. But when Rei overpays for a beautiful chest of drawers, she's in for the worst deal of her life. The con man who sold her the tansu is found dead, and like it or not, Rei's opened a Pandora's box of mystery, theft, and murder.
Only Rei sees the tansu as the key. It will take a quick wit, fast feet, and, above all, a Zen attitude for Rei to discover what a young monk, a judo star, and an ancient scroll have in common and why her own life hangs in the balance.
