Book excerpt: When Thalo Wilks discovers her husband has imported an underage Korean prostitute, she runs off to Tahiti to gain time and distance to consider her marriage. There she meets Michael. A woman is murdered, a smarmy stranger persistently spies on her every move, and someone tries to kill her. Frightened, she accepts Michael's offer to take her aboard his yacht to Pago Pago, as an untraceable escape. After a hazardous journey that they barely survive, they land in Hawaii. Michael and Thalo are deeply in love, but Hawaii is no safe haven. Thalo is kidnapped and taken aboard a filthy freighter—destination Asia. From that moment on her life is in jeopardy. Why is that? What possible connection can there be between Thalo, a very average New Yorker, and the Oriental killer with the polished manner, or to the ugly American with no polish at all? How is she involved in the theft of the most dangerous substance on earth, or the subsequent deadly and comlex shell game played by competing murderous thieves? Why is a vicious sexual sadist intent on wrecking vengeance upon her? And will American soldiers half a world away suffer massive and horrible death?
