Rising Sun Hidden Treasures David Mark Hebden

When Pearl Harbor is bombed by the Japanese, Annapolis Cadet Daniel (Danny) Casey's father is killed aboard the USS Arizona ... and Danny's life as a half Japanese-American Naval Intelligence Lieutenant turns into a personal battle. He struggles against the prejudice of his fellow officers, contends with his own anger over his fathers death, and questions his own place in life.

Danny's life is further complicated when assigned to interrogate Japanese prisoners of war in the Philippines. His Commander demands Danny squeeze out info "for his ears only" on a rumored stash of plundered Japanese gold. Danny finds himself imprisoned with Japanese Army Colonel Fumio Nakamira until Fumio reveals what the Commander desires; the gold's location. In the meantime, Danny has fallen in love with a Philippine woman whose family hates the Japanese for the miseries inflicted on their islands. As the secrets of the gold are revealed, enemies change sides, greed rules hearts, and Danny must face his own fears and motives. Can finding $500 million dollars in gold bars bring him the peace he seeks? And can he recover it from the bowels of a sunken submarine before the U.S. Military, the local government, and Philippine mafia stop him?
