Chinese Zodiac

JC (also known as Asian Hawk) is a daring treasure hunter with a sharp mind and a knack for adventure. An auction house hires him to recover twelve bronze heads of the Chinese zodiac animals, taken centuries ago during the looting of the Old Summer Palace. 

His journey starts in Paris, where he pairs up with Coco, an eager archaeology student, to track down the first of the bronze heads hidden inside a mansion. Together, they break in, crack the secret vault, and escape with the head and other treasures, all while outsmarting the guards. 

JC’s quest takes him across continents, from castles in Europe to remote tropical islands. He meets Catherine, a mysterious and wealthy lady connected to the history of the looted bronzes. Alongside Simon, David, and Bonnie, a loyal and skilled team, JC tracks clues, unearths hidden vaults, and faces every challenge with wry humour and fearless determination. 

Through narrow escapes, clever distractions, and daring escapes, once even parachuting into danger, JC shows that courage, smarts, and team spirit can outmatch traps and traps can’t outwit friendship and grit. 

By the end, he collects the last bronze head and clears the way for the rightful return of these historic treasures.
