Travel Asia with Eric Stone as he relates the story of the smuggling ring uncovered in his investigation for his employer Due Diligence International. When his boss Bill Warner requests that Ray conduct an investigation for a US client getting ready to invest in a company in Asia a ball starts rolling that just increases in momentum until Ray is fighting for his life.

The investigation starts off simple enough but when one of the shop keepers takes Ray to view some special items in a back room Ray feels sure that he has stumbled across a big smuggling operation.

Grave Imports begins in Hong Kong but Ray travels further than Hong Kong to find the master mind behind the smuggling ring. The setting for the book is exotic and horrifying at the same time. The people that Ray meets along the way are truly interesting. To really understand you must read the book and walk the streets of Asia along with Ray Sharp. The story Eric Stone imparts is not one easily forgotten at least by this reader.
