Spirited Aimee Leduc, a private investigator based in
Paris, has been introduced to the Cao Dai temple by her
partner, Rene, who urges her to learn to meditate as a
counterbalance to her frenetic lifestyle. A Vietnamese nun
asks her for a favor-to hand over a check and bring a
package back to the temple. But this act of kindness ends
in a stranger's death and leaves her with a bullet wound
in the arm, a check for 50,000 francs and a trove of
ancient jade artifacts whose provenance is a mystery.
The French secret service, a group of veterans of the
war in Indochina, some wealthy ex-colonials, and
contending international oil companies all claim the jade.
They will stop at nothing to gain possession of it. And
the nun has disappeared.
Aimee has promised to
avoid danger, but it continues to seek her out.
