description: A manuscript of religious text written by an executed Jesuit in 17th-century Japan survives the atomic bombing of Nagasaki—its present whereabouts unknown. The systematic looting of Mayan temples in the Yukatan Peninsula by a gang of professional thieves. Re-discovered wood blocks for a print from one of Japan’s greatest masters of the Edo-era. Three seemingly unrelated events, that embroil an international art expert, and his love affair with an F.B.I. agent, take them both to Japan, China, and Europe. Both find themselves dangerously caught up in a web of intrigue and the Yakuza. The reader is confronted with the world of art as a commodity, a love affair, and homicide, weaving together events that span over three hundred years.
