Gaijin Cowgirl
Table of contents and about this serialization.
Serialized here at Dark & Stormy!
Working Tokyo nightclubs is easy money for the party-loving Val Benson – until her number-one tipper, Takahashi, a corporate titan with sinister hobbies, reveals a map to gold stolen during World War Two.
Val embarks on an action-packed treasure hunt, from the neon-drenched streets of Japan to the mountainous jungles of Thailand. Snapping at her high heels are Yakuza gangsters; bent cops; rogue CIA agents; and Val’s estranged father, a philandering Congressman.
Val is joined in her quest by Suki, a hostess desperate for a new life; Simon, a British kickboxer; and Muddy McKenzie, a washed-up Australian treasure hunter. But as they close in on the gold, can she trust them?
