Set in Maui, Amsterdam and Morocco's no-man's region of hash farms, attorney Tyler Pierce is approached by Lei, a Chinese woman from Amsterdam, to represent her brother Niko who has been arrested at the Honolulu airport for using a false passport. Niko was carrying documents concerning a notorious arms dealer, and the feds believe Niko is he. Lei admits their family has known the arms dealer's family since WW II when both smuggled arms for the Dutch Resistance but insists Niko was actually digging up dirt on the arms dealer who is now trying to take over their dry-cleaning business. The only convincing proof Niko isn't the arms dealer or working with him is to find the arms dealer and feed the feds his exact real-time location. Lei learns where he is in Morocco's hash region, and they set out to get photos of him, armed only with luck, guile and a WW II pistol. Betrayed by Lei's evil uncle, the arm dealer's henchmen hunt them from the minute they land in Morocco. The ensuing chase from Tangier's old city through the Rif Mountains down to the Mediterranean coast lands them in the middle of the arms dealer's deal with Islamic terrorists, trading two tons of hash for a dozen latest laser-guided Chinese shoulder-fired missiles. Captured and escaping several times, Tyler faces heartrending decisions and surprising twists that reveal the cryptic meaning of the I Ching's hexagram 61, Inner Truth.
