The Shangri-la Code

by Fritz Galt

The American President's plane vanishes in the mountains of western China. In the tense international standoff that ensues, a lovestruck American grad student must solve the mystery of Shangri-La.
In this humorous and surprisingly touching romp across France, Iraq, and China, the world hangs in the balance as international leaders are drawn toward an ancient dream, leaving the world in the clutches of a power-crazed madman. Even if the magical land of Shangri-La is a fantasy, the idea of eternal youth has irresistible allure. Who better to exploit the dream than a disgruntled criminal with revenge on his mind? And who better to settle the truth of the matter once and for all than a young American grad student with a woman to impress, a maniacal step-father to pursue, and a nation to save? Can he find the Shangri-La Code that has been lost to history and unlock it before the madman takes over? Sit tight as you learn the secrets of the past and the key to the future in this top-drawer Fritz Galt thriller.
