And inside those stolen safety deposit boxes were items of much more value than money.Claudia Valentine is called in by the Chen family who are desperate for the return of a gold key embellished by a dragon. The hunt for this family heirloom spins her into a world of ancient treasures and modern Triad killings, through sleazy back streets and exotic oriental temples. And, everywhere, nothing is as it seems.'Claudia Valentine rides again and it's a treat to renew the acquaintance of the spunky Sydney redhead.' - Katharine England, The Advertiser'racy, funny and intriguing' - Sunday Mail'keeps you guessing right through to the end' - Time Out
