The Trail of the Red Diamonds

Lieutenant Jonathan Daly’s life is about to get a lot more interesting and a whole lot more dangerous — a high-stakes game with rewards beyond his wildest dreams at one end and death at the other. A chance encounter with an original manuscript of Marco Polo’s travels to China opens a trail leading to Kublai Khan’s fabled burial site and a long-lost treasure: rare red diamonds meant to light the way to heaven and to serve as an offering to the gods. Will the lieutenant be able to overcome criminals, secret agents, and the force of the entire Chinese army? Or will millions of dollars’ worth of rare gems slip through his fingers like grains of sand?
