THE PUZZLE BOX
THE PUZZLE BOX, the follow up thriller to THE PUZZLE MASTER by Danielle Trussoni, is an international romp in the world of puzzle enthusiasts that collides with female samurai and the world of technological surveillance. Mike Brink, the world’s greatest puzzle master, has set out to solve the most fabled puzzle box in the world, the Dragon Box. It is also the most dangerous. Most have never seen it. No one has ever solved it. Other puzzle masters have lost fingers trying. More than one has died. No one knows what is in it, only that it is a precious treasure.
As Mike races across Japan, from Imperial compounds to historical temples, dark forces gather, intent on stealing the treasure, posing just as much of a threat to Mike as the lethal Dragon Box. Crafted as beautifully and intricately as a puzzle box, this thriller had me locked in tight from the beginning, heart-pounding with each twist and turn of the puzzle, until the jaw-dropping conclusion.
While this is part of a series, the book works as a standalone as well.
