DARK EYE OF THE JAGUAR

THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THE CURSE WHEN THEY FOUND THE JEWEL: A LARGE COLOMBIAN EMERALD EMBEDDED IN THE CENTRE OF A GOLD BISHOP’S CROSS.

The cross had been hidden within a secret compartment in an antique mahogany writing box they had purchased at the Dirt Market in Beijing, in a compartment sealed for over a hundred years. And with the cross was an unfinished letter, telling of a brass chest containing church treasures and relics looted by the Boxers, a chest supposedly buried somewhere in the city once known as Peking. The two Australians return to China to search for the chest. But others have learned of their quest and, in the cold mist of Beijing's winter, what had seemed like a simple task back in their leafy riverside Brisbane suburb, became a deadly game as the curse of the Dark Eye of the Jaguar began to take its revenge.

Another thriller from the prize-winning author of The Crying Stones.
