ABOUT THE BOOK
During World War II, the Imperial Japanese Army under General Tomoyuki Yamashita looted untold amounts of gold and other valuables from across its occupied colonies in Southeast Asia to finance the empire’s ongoing military expansion.
But when the tide of war turned against Japan in 1943, much of this treasure had to be buried in secret. Over the decades, the search for the legendary Yamashita’s Gold had been in vain until now ...
A group of foreign workers digging a tunnel under the Padang in present-day Singapore stumbled across one treasure vault and inadvertently triggered a biological booby trap. An unknown strain of anthrax was released threatening a global holocaust.
It is now up to a special team of investigators in Singapore to decipher a cryptic clue left behind with the loot to halt this deadly plague.
Year of the Tiger takes readers on a roller-coaster journey of political wrangling, murky history and secret organisations, from World War II Singapore to the present day, to discover the elusive cure for a seemingly unstoppable anthrax pandemic.

As someone who has history flowing through his veins so to speak, I found that this unusual take on what happened to Yamashita's Treasure in the latter half of that war in the Pacific, to be both plausible and somewhat frightening. I can certainly appreciate the enormous research that was merged so seamlessly into the storyline giving the casual reader a quick history lesson complete with all the bells and whistles one would expect of an exceptional novel. - John Thomas, London, UK* * * * * *
Year of the Tiger has proven itself to be one the best action thriller novels that I have come across in recent years. It's fast paced and doesn't bore the reader with silly subplots that just slows down the story. The plot has been well conceived and even though it is a work a fiction, the book shows an enormous amount of research weaved into the story and clearly presented for the reader to digest.
Highly recommended - Scott Thomson, USA

David Miller's Year of the Tiger kept me holding my breath! It involves a historical look at the deadly consequences that ensue when greed, secrecy, and government involvement mesh together in a thriller that captured my interest about the WWII days of Singapore. - Kelly Yee, California, USA* * * * * *
In Year of the Tiger, David Miller has created a fantastic journey through time and history. His marriage of historical facts of war and greed with a fictional tale of cryptic messages, political intrigue and bioterrorism makes for a phenomenal read. - Lynn Luckey, Illinois,USA

Overall, I really enjoyed the book and I hope there are more books written that are based in Singapore. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more David Miller books, especially if he writes about Singapore. For just 278 pages, ‘Year of the Tiger’ was throughly entertaining.- Violet Crush, Singapore

One thing for certain, this is fast-paced page-turner. As a relic thriller fan, I’d say this comes pretty close to what I think can be THE Singapore relic thriller. I hope this book can spark a new writing trend in Singapore; it’s high time! - Lovelyloey, Singapore
