Description: "Climber Luca Matthews thrives on the dangers of the high mountain peaks, sacrificing anything to pursue his goals. And when he glimpses an unmapped, virgin peak in the Himalayas, he wants to be the first to climb it. Together with Bill Taylor, his climbing partner, they set off to a region of Tibet, restricted by the Chinese. But when an accident endangers the life of one of the team, a local Tibetan girl leads them to Geltang, a monastery. They discover that since the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Geltang has remained hidden from the outside world... However, Luca and Bill are being tailed by the Chinese secret police and become embroiled in a struggle to protect Geltang's precious secret - and the legacy of Tibet itself."--Publisher description.
