Publisher's Synopsis
Old enemies join forces in a deadly game of political hardball and techno-terror spanning the Pacific. A vengeful Japanese industrialist, an ambitious and amoral First Lady, and a top Korean assassin threaten to tilt the balance of world power. Veteran journalist and American expatriate Jack Lambert uncovers their scheme and springs into action along with a motley crew of Old Asia hands. Ricocheting from Tokyo's highest halls of power to Bangkok's red-light districts and the infamous poppy fields of the Golden Triangle, Jack and his coterie of allies sift through decades of hatred, heartache, murder, and greed, searching for the key to thwart the dangerous plot. Dodging cultural roadblocks at every turn, the crew races against the clock to stop an attack on the United States-and to find some measure of redemption for themselves. Rich in authentic detail of Asian cultures, history, and politics, The Yen Conspiracy is an exotic and engrossing novel of international intrigue.
