Dragon's family were members of the TC Triad and were major suppliers of opium in China. Each generation of the family would alternate between running the supply routes and expanding the territory. Dragon's destiny was to travel to North America and find the hidden treasure his Great-Grandfather, Tiger, had found in the late 1800's.  Tiger had sent the family a cryptic riddle about the wealth he'd found and hidden in Jackfish, and Dragon was determined to find it. Jackfish was originally a Scandinavian fishing village on Lake Superior, but now is and old, abandoned ghost town.This story alternates between the past, when Tiger was working on the rail-road crew before the town was built, and the present, with the story of Dragon's search for the treasure. The only thing stopping Dragon from recovering the treasure is Phil and April. Phil is an ex-cop who moved from the city to escape his past. All he wants is to be left alone and live a peaceful life, co-existing with nature. April is one of the local cops and when she finds out someone is living in the hills near Jackfish, it's her duty to look into it.Tiger and his men are in the process of retrieving the treasure and they perceive Phil and April as a threat. A bloody gunfight ensues. The excitement of the events and the descriptions of the characters pulled me into this tale. It's very well written and the plot kept me engaged through the whole story.
