The Honjo by Glenn Starkey

Greg Valdez had walked away from the dark side of the art world and stolen antiquities. No longer for hire as a professional thief, he was enjoying retirement with his family until the day men from Japans National Police and the Agency for Cultural Affairs arrived on his doorstep wanting a national treasure returned. The Honjo Masamune, a priceless samurai sword is being held by the Tonsei-Kai, a notorious Yakuza clan. If Valdez will retrieve the sword, the Japanese government will give him information about where Kyla, his former daughter in law, may be found. She believes she is leaving for Japan to become an international model, but in reality, shes caught in a human trafficking ring and may never be seen again. But Valdez must have the help of his son, Daniel, if Kyla is to be rescued—and Valdez doesnt realize it will take a miracle to get the sword and save his own life. The pulse pounding sequel to SOLOMONS MEN brings Valdez out of retirement and in search of THE HONJO.
