Eva Gatsby has often wondered about her grandfather Lawrence''s past, and exactly what happened to him in Burma during the Second World War. But it is only when Eva''s job as an antiques dealer suddenly requires a trip to Mandalay that Lawrence finally breaks his silence and asks her to return a mysterious artefact of his own - a chinthe - to its rightful owner.
As Eva arrives in Burma her mission soon proves dangerously complicated, and the treasure she is guarding becomes the centre of a scandal that will have far-reaching consequences. Caught between loyalty and integrity, Eva is determined to find the truth about her grandfather''s past, of her own family origins, and of the red-eyed chinthe itself - enigmatic symbol of the riches of Mandalay.
