This is a wonderful action-packed novel of a woman's quest to fulfill a promise she made to her dying grandfather. But Kiera is not the only one who wants the treasured statue she seeks. With two men who will stop at nothing on her trail, her quest is turned into a riveting, suspenseful hunt. The exotic East Asian setting is beautifully rendered, warts and all, not only with sights and sounds, but also with history, politics and culture. I particularly liked the details about the Hmong people and the elephants. The story also has a structural beauty to it, with the subtle mirroring of Kiera and the mythical figure. I will definitely read this author again!
