In this next installment in the Thieves series, following THE THIEVES OF DARKNESS, reformed thief Michael St. Pierre and his crew travel to China on behalf of the U.S. government to obtain a legendary diary that holds the clue to a long-forgotten mystery. Moving from the glittering casinos of Macau to its dark and dangerous backstreets; from the palace at the heart of China's Forbidden City to the medieval castles in Spain; from the seaside mansions on the Amalfi Coast, to an uncharted Pacific island, Michael is in a race against time to solve the riddle and save his ex-girlfriend KC Rayn from certain death.
