The President of the United States once again calls upon Maddy Banks; this time to help China save their arable land and renew US-China relations in a comedy-adventure against a backdrop of real current-day issues. While attending Eve's seance party, Maddy receives a message from Uncle Sam's spirit: "Go to China-Find the Tombstone-Save the World." She dismisses it as a sham until the President calls with a mission for Lights Out Enterprises: Modify China's burial rituals to save their land. While charged with changing 5,000 years of tradition, Maddy uncovers the myth of a yellow lure bequeathed to her by Uncle Sam bearing a code that holds the secret to the holy grail of life; a secret others will kill for, including her arch nemesis Derek Rogers, who runs a multi-national corporation in China, as well as a suspicious client of her estranged husband Victor. Determined to "find the tombstone", Maddy engages the help of a reluctant handsome hero--expert Asian mythologist Michael Kahn, as they embark on a fast paced journey through the symbols of ancient China and Judaism to solve the mystery of the yellow lure and save China's sacred waters from privatization. If you ever wanted to learn about multi-cultural life celebrations and the Jews of China, this is a must read. THE DIGITAL SERIES: On Amazon!
