Kusanagi

 

Kusanagi, the priceless sword of the Japanese crown jewels that must be present at the coronation of every Japanese emperor, is missing. Danny, a Navy Seal out of his element, is in London to sell a precious artifact—a gold ingot from an ancient sea wreck off the coast of Japan. Jim Evans, retired whiz kid trader, acquires the gold ingot through a chance meeting in a London auction house with Danny, and realizes it is just the tip of a huge medieval fortune. To Akira Nakabashi, curator of the Japanese Imperial treasures, the gold ingot represents the key to his life, the honor of his family, and the future of his country. In downtown Tokyo, Basho Kim's vast property empire is about to implode and he will go to any lengths to obtain the fortune he needs to save it.
