As a bronze statuette clatters from a Cornish lobster pot, Dan Mapleton wonders if he has hauled up an artefact with a weight that belies its size. Hidden inside is an encrypted message leading to a legendary £2 million reward for recovering stolen treasure in Goa—the lifeline he needs to win back the woman he lost. Half a world away in the Philippines, Katie Barnes is fighting for her life. A volunteer at a local turtle conservation centre, she witnesses a dangerous poaching syndicate in action and is forced into a breathless escape across Southeast Asia. From the island of Cebu to the peaks of Nepal, Katie is hunted by a relentless network that won't let her go. As the monsoon batters the Goan coast, their paths collide. Between them stand a relentless criminal mastermind, a life-altering bout of amnesia, and a treacherous vault of sacred gold. In a world of shifting loyalties, they'll discover their greatest fortune isn't the treasure—it's surviving long enough to find each other.
