Never underestimate the ability of amateur crime fighters to uncover the links connecting the disappearance of an ancient priceless relic, to ruthless greedy politicians and a wealthy regional drug lord, united solely in a vicious pursuit of money and power.

A priceless 2000-year-old priceless relic is missing. Book 1 in the TNoi Chronicles finds amateur crime fighters, TNoi, a teenage elephant with the ability to function in two worlds, human and elephant, and his clever intuitive buddy, Chewy a bushy tailed red squirrel, recruited by the Buddhist Supreme Council to quietly find and return an ancient artifact to its Shrine home in Bangkok. As the crime fighting duo follow the clues, cleverly given them by a businessman hoping to use the disappearance of the sacred Blue Buddha to win the election for Prime Minister, TNoi and Chewy discover they might have risked their life for nothing, when the artifact they find is declared a fake. In a gripping investigation that has the crime fighters crosscutting Thailand, TNoi and Chewy interview Abbotts, travel to historic temples, explore Bangkok's red-light district, hunt for a mythical blind dragon, and search for a cruel drug lord's villa, all to answer the question, who stole the priceless Blue Buddha, and why?
