Captured and beheaded, his secret vanishes, and historians dismiss it as a fanciful myth. But they are wrong. Very wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo turn the tide of war, a friend of the Shogun enlists Tomita Yuki, a young samurai, to travel to America and purchase 10,000 Spencer repeating rifles-the same weapons used by Union forces in the Civil War. At his side: Major Butler, a retired U.S. Army officer who was a Shogunate military advisor, and Mary, Butler's bold and determined niece. But a deadly betrayal threatens everything, and their mission spirals into disaster, and their story disappears-until more than a century and a half later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn modern-day California, insurance fraud detective Parker West discovers Tomita Yuki's Japanese diary in his late parents' attic. He also finds a gleaming 1858 U.S. $20 gold coin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawn into a mystery spanning continents and over 150 years, Parker teams up with Japanese-American historian Jason Tanaka and his brilliant niece, Terry. Together, they follow Yuki's elusive clues-deadly clues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gold is real. The danger is present.
