Synopses

The Feathered Serpent

Back in England and recovering from injuries, Hiram Kane is unsettled by an anonymous letter sent to his family. Its message reopens old fears while suggesting an unexpected chance of hope. As betrayal and a returning presence from earlier days close in, the threat of sacrifice sharpens the danger.

The Samurai Code

While in Japan to speak at a conference, Kane is caught in the deadliest storm in recorded history. With flash floods tearing through the region, he joins a rescue effort amid chaos and destruction. Elsewhere, retiring yakuza boss Katashi Goto follows an ancient code as he seeks blood revenge against a centuries-old enemy.

Of Curses and Kings

After years marked by tragedy, Kane steps away from international exploration in search of a quieter life. A job transporting one of the world’s most iconic artefacts for the British Museum’s Artefact Repatriation Committee seems to offer a calmer path. When a mysterious organisation with devastating plans becomes entangled with his work, stability quickly gives way to turmoil.

The Shadow of Kailash

Kane travels to India to honour his murdered best friend, but events soon spiral into crisis. When a people trafficker kidnaps Alexandria Ridley and disappears into the Himalayas, Kane is forced into a high-risk rescue attempt. The pursuit draws him into a world of weapons and drugs trading, sexual slavery and human trafficking.
