Things go from bad to worse when Rune and Kit’s latest mark catches up to them and demands they return his stolen rubies, lost sometime during the search for Madee. With Kit taken hostage and Madee still missing, Rune’s race against the clock propels her from the shadows of Khlong Toei to the glamor of New York City’s auction houses, following a web of crime with consequences far more insidious than just one missing girl and a handful of stolen gems.
