When Amelia Earhart attempted to fly around-the-world in 1937, she was shot down by the Japanese at Jaluit Atoll. Unknown to Amelia at the time, two Japanese and one American had a company on Jaluit and were involved in illegally trading commodities before the war, during and after the war. While being held in a Japanese prison, Amelia recognized the American as someone she had met previously in Washington, D.C., when she was at a social function hosted by President Roosevelt. When the American realizes that she knows him, he shoots her straight in the chest and she is buried under a breadfruit tree. Years later the two Japanese are very wealthy and very successful businessmen. The American is also wealthy and a respected United States Senator. In the 1980's, Jared Stone is doing research work in the Marshall Islands, trying to find out why a large area of corals has died. He discovers 100's of rusted 55-gallons drums on the ocean floor leaking a toxic substance, which has caused the large area of corals to die. While he's taking samples of the toxic substance, he accidentally finds a twin-engine aircraft that's been in the water for years, takes his dive knife and pries loose an I.D. Plate that gives the number of the plane and the name Lockheed as the manufacturer. When he gets back to the States he wants to have the I.D. Plate traced, so he can see whom the plane belonged to. Lockheed suggests he go to Navy Intelligence in San Francisco and that's when Jared's trouble starts! Someone at the government agency alerts the U.S. Senator that Amelia's plane has been found at Jaluit. The Senator gets in touch with his two former Japanese partners and the three of them immediately start plotting to have Jarid Killed. It also turns out the three men are Trained Samaurai Warriors. One Japanese man likes to use a spinning 5-pointed star to do his killing. The second Japanese man likes the razor-sharp garrote and the American's favorite weapon is a Japanese ceremonial sword. When the three men find out that Jared has not only found Amelia Earhart's plane, he has also found her grave and recovered the bullet that killed her, they double their efforts to have him killed. What they don't know is that Jared has also found a small, rusted lip stick cylinder at her grave site and in the small container, is a small note that Amelia wrote that identifies the American as the person who killed her! The three men know that if Jared's information is ever made public, everything they have worked for their entire lives will be ruined. So they attempt to kill him multiple ways. Amelia Earhart is an interesting story about how Jared Stone accidentally found Amelia's plane, how he discovered her grave, found the bullet that killed her and found how to prove that the U.S. Senator was the person who actually killed Amelia Earhart back in 1937.
