We meet forensic accountant and martial arts expert Ava Lee in her early days working for the mysterious businessman Uncle as they track down large sums of money that have disappeared. One of Uncle's longtime friends has requested help for his nephew, who needs to recover five million dollars from a business deal that went sideways. Ava steps in and is immediately off on a global hunt for the missing money that has her dodging shady characters.

On a journey that takes her from Seattle to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Guyana and the British Virgin Islands, Ava encounters everything from the Thai Katoey culture to corrupt government officials. In Guyana, she meets her match: Captain Robbins, a godfather-like figure who controls the police, politicians and criminals alike. In exchange for his help, Robbins decides he wants a piece of Ava's five million dollars and will do whatever it takes to get his fair share.

This is a duplicate of a book I've already read.
