Tiger Blues

Legend says the Buddhist master Padmasambhava once rode a winged tiger to a cliffside cave above Bhutan’s Paro Valley.  There he achieved Enlightenment and left behind a divine relic with unimaginable power.

History calls it the Tiger’s Penis.

1948. Mao’s communists are conquering China, and Chiang Kai-shek’s armies are falling apart.  When whispers spread that the legendary talisman has surfaced somewhere in the Himalayas (a relic capable of controlling the minds of men).  Chiang can’t send soldiers to claim it.

So he hires criminals.

Olive Yang, Burmese aristocrat turned hard drinking gun runner with a laser dagger strapped to her prosthetic arm.

Kawashima Yoshiko, Manchurian princess turned Japanese spy turned executed war criminal… who bribed the hangman and walked away alive.

Cross dressing, rule breaking, and always ready for trouble, the two outlaws lead a ragtag crew into the deadliest mountains on Earth.

Their mission: find the Tiger’s Penis before Mao’s agents do.

Because in the wrong hands, this ancient relic could decide the future of China.
