Orientails, from antiques to anti-American activities, as filler for murder when Rhana, cataloguing Henry Maxfield's collection of priceless Chinese objets d'art brings him the Buddha which leads to his death. Disturbed by the presence of Japanese national treasures in the collection, surprised by being named as his beneficiary, Rhana -- with Judd Norton of the FBI -- solve a question of Japanese espionage as well as murder. Feminine, flossy, but readable.
