Thai Gold by Jason Schoonover A novel of adventure set in the Golden Triangle In the Steamy Far East, A Legendary Treasure Beckons... Everyone in the Golden Triangle and in the world of antiquities has heard The Rumor, but few believe it's more than local myth - until high in the Himalayas, a Buddhist monk is murdered and his monastery is ransacked. Among the stolen treasures is the most sacred icon of the Eastern world - the gold and jewel encrusted head of the Gautama Buddha. When a wealthy client calls on collector and adventurer Lee Rivers to track down the macabre and priceless relic, he finds the assignment irresistible. Rivers' specialties are Asian antiquities, exotic women, and high-priced danger. But nothing he has survived so far can prepare him for this unholy quest. And no woman he has known can compare to Tysee, the daughter of a notorious Burmese chieftain. Together, Rivers and Tysee find themselves pitted against drug traffickers, ex-Nazis, Sikh and Muslim extremists, the KGB, and the CIA - all ruthlessly determined to recover the Head at any cost.
