Invisible World by Stuart Cohen
Beautiful thriller with some New Age overtones, set in the Far East. "I've always been your wild card, play me". This is the irresistible message that a young mid-western plumbing engineer, Andrew Mann, receives on a sealed envelope at the funeral of his wildly exotic school friend, Clayton Smith. Opening the envelope will take him to Hong Kong, Shanghai and the desert wastes of Mongolia in search of the most fabulous map in the history of the ancient world -- a map of the Invisible World. Did it really exist or is it a quest for the invisible world of the soul?
