Yamada’s Treasure

Siam, 1628

With the death of King Songtham, a chaotic period in Siamese history starts. After a Machiavellian power struggle and the deaths of several young contenders to the throne, a self-proclaimed king, Prasat Thong, finally takes the throne himself.

One of the other key players, Yamada Nagamasa, the powerful Japanese samurai of Ayutthaya, is seen as a significant threat. To maneuver him out of the way, he is sent to Ligor to suppress a rebellion.

Close to 400 years later…

Stumbled upon by accident while looking for antiques in the Thai countryside, the last remaining clue to a treasure buried in the last weeks of Yamada’s life sends Peter Prins and his long-time friend Somrak Noonsuk, a retired Thai police inspector, on a treasure hunt in the south of Thailand.

A fast-paced adventure ensues, marked by old and new unexpected friends, enemies, mortal dangers, and a trail of death. Will they overcome evil, find the long-lost treasure, and secure it for future generations?
