"Colonel North's mission in this exciting new case is first to determine the authenticity of documents found in a courier case shackled to the wrist of a victim of a plane accident, and then to decipher them.
Step by step it is ascertained that a syndicate of gold smugglers operating from Portugal and their colony in Macao near Hong Kong are preparing to make a huge delivery.  The gold is to be smuggled through Macao to Red China for the purchase of submarines from the Russians, to be used in the impending attack on Formosa."
