"James Thayer is a master of the genre, as good as Clancy, Child and Forsyth." -- Stephen Coonts.

A desperate search to discover World War II's last secret.

In 1946 Singapore, American Agent Joseph Snow investigates Amelia Earhart's 1937 flight around the world as a cover for a secret reconnaissance mission to retrieve Japanese naval intelligence. Of all the Earhart rumors, the one of her skeletal remains discovered in a Japanese POW camp holds curious credibility.

Joseph's new bride Connie, has accompanied him to the sultry, dangerous city of Singapore. The once Japanese - occupied city leads him to a dangerous secret she may be keeping. As truths take shape, their trip becomes more manhunt than honeymoon.

Snow slowly pieces the story together only to discover that Earhart's mission was a hoax - one that led her into a trap set by a brutal, cunning, and ambitious man. In looking into Earhart's disappearance, he uncovers what was her true agenda.

"As exciting as The Maltese Falcon. . . . A finely written maze . . . "-- The Nashville Banner.
