Thriller fans will relish in the danger and intrigue as Allied agents uncover a secret Japanese plot to bury the plundered treasure and return to dig it up after the war is concluded. The novel is based, in-part, on the true story and the covert activities of an American Army counterintelligence agent, and his ‘special mission’ team that takes the battle to the Japanese. The Japanese plundered such large quantities of gold from China and Southeast Asian countries that, following the end of the World Wat Two, President Truman had to keep the activities a secret, lest the gold market would plummet upon the release of such large quantities, and send the world into another great depression. A mixture of economic fear, greed, and impending cold war mania, resulted in the decision that would create a political action fund to fight the spread of communism.
