Publisher's Summary

A superb Claudia Valentine murder mystery from the author of the best-selling Lambs of God.

The new year starts with a bang in Sydney's Chinatown - and not just fireworks. While the rest of the country is celebrating, the biggest bank job in Australia's history is taking place. The press called it 'The Great Chinese Take-Away', but in those missing safety deposit boxes is something much more valuable than money. A gold key with a dragon on it. Why does the Chen family want it back so badly? What starts as a routine case soon leads Claudia Valentine into a world of ancient treasures and modern Triad killings, through the sleazy back streets and exotic oriental temples.

Critic Reviews

"The largest bank heist in Australian history finds investigator Claudia Valentine hired by a Chinese family to search for a key stolen from a safety deposit box. Effortlessly, narrator Diana Greentree transforms herself into the heroine detective and dispatches each scene and character. Her accents authenticate the story line, whether for a resident from Chinatown or a fellow Australian." (AudioFile Magazine)
