{"product_id":"9781987857122","title":"The Treasure of Ching Shih","description":"In the early 1800s, Ching Shih was a powerful female pirate with over 80,000 men and 1,800 Chinese junks at her command. She stole everything from jewels to people to opium. In 1844, Madam Ching and her husband designed a secret plan to move her fortune from China to Hawaii for safe keeping until she arrived. Unknown to her, the Chinese Navy along with a rival pirate family were plotting to intercept the junks carrying the treasure. But the forces of nature intervened and the treasure was lost.\u003cp\u003eMany years later, Mr. Chang from Hawaii, a distant relative of Madam Ching, came to California to visit the Cali family seeking their assistance in locating Ching's lost treasure. Mr. Chang had heard of the Cali family's success in discovering a portion of Sir Francis Drake's treasure in Malaga Cove. As events unfold, the Cali family find themselves in a dangerous predicament forcing Snail to risk his life to rescue them. Mr. Chang proved to be as ruthless and cunning as his distant relative. Much to the Calis' surprise, the treasure was not gold or jewels as they expected, but something far more sinister and deadly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Promontory Press Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048757510384,"sku":"9781987857122","price":7.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781987857122_p0.jpg?v=1763672614","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781987857122","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
