    [synopsis] => On a Japan-bound freighter carrying a wealthy silk heiress, a tide of murder threatens everyone on board-and a world careening toward a second world war.

  

 When a millionaire silk merchant dies from an apparent suicide after being called a Japanese agent during a Senate investigation, his daughter disappears. Trying to avoid the press, Dorothy Bonner sails to Japan on the Kumo-maru. And now, so is foreign correspondent Glen Larkin, hoping to get an exclusive with the woman the whole world is looking for.

  

 What Larkin gets is a journey awash with intrigue, thanks to the lovely Dorothy. Traveling with a low profile in second class is a mining engineer, who just happens to be Dorothy's fiancé. A stowaway-Dorothy's morphine-addicted brother-is murdered. Also aboard are stolen US Navy anti-aircraft gun blueprints that could implicate Dorothy on conspiracy charges, if anyone can find them. With a passenger list full of suspects and someone taking violent objection to Larkin's professional curiosity, he must match wits with an insurance detective to discover the killer, as the Kumo-maru heads across the ocean to a continent aflame with war . . .
