"1940-The eve of WWII. Imperial Japan threatens to conquer Asia and the entire Pacific Theater. Supplies and support are pouring into the region. Vital to this effort is the city of Seattle. But now, its crucial role in the supply chain is beginning to attract some shadowy and exotic international forces. Following a tip from his mentor Vic Morrison, young Alan Stewart uses his detective skills to track down Tiger Lee, a sexy American operative on a mission to disrupt the Japanese spy network. Working together, the two set out to eliminate the head of their Japanese rivals: a dangerous samurai whose movements are shrouded in mystery. What begins as a hunt for justice quickly turns into a maelstrom of revenge --and a race against the clock as politics becomes personal and loyalties are tested from every side. Returning to the scene of his first novel, Thick as Thieves, author Neil Low proves once again that in the shadowy underbelly of a city nothing is as it first appears, and what you don't know might just hurt you after all"--Page 4 of cover.
