The Sword Thief
The book starts with Dan and Amy in a Venice airport. There, Ian and Natalie Kabra, steal their plane tickets, and go on the plane where their au pair, Nellie, already is seated. Then, Amy and Dan are then forced to team up with Alistair Oh, and take a flight with him on his private plane to Japan. As the team, they learn about Toyotami Hideyoshi, the greatest warrior in the history of Japan, and the son of the first Tomas.
When they are close to victory, the Holts take Amy, Dan, and Alistair captive. They make Amy, Dan, and Alsitair lead them to a place where they might believe a clue might be. That place is a subway station. They search the station, but the Holts leave when a train comes. Amy's foot gets stuck in the tracks, with Dan trying to pull her out. Before the train hits them, Alistair pulls them out of the way. Unfortunately, Amy suffers from a sprained ankle.
Then, they find a haiku, which tells them to use geometry to find Hideyoshi's treasure. Later, they find some geometric shapes, but are chased by the Yakuza, who throw shurikens at them. Fortunately, they are rescued by Nellie and the Kobras, and make an alliance with them. Then the Kabras give them a small coin.
Later, they find another message in the shapes, and some English letters. The message told them to go to Korea.
On the flight to Korea, Alistair found out that his uncle, Bae Oh, killed his father, Gordon Oh.
In Korea, everyone goes to Alistair's home. There, they look at old books about the Cahill family in Alistair's secret library. By reading one of them, Amy and Dan figure out that the secret of the 39 clues is the ability to make gold out of lead. They also figure out that they should go to a mountain called Pukhansan.
Ian becomes SUPER sweet to Amy (kinda weird huh?). She soon likes him and they actually kiss! When the rock crumbled in, Ian saved Amy.
In the mountain, they find an entrance, and open it with the coin they have. Inside, they find all of Hideyoshi's treasure, and the third clue. The Kabras then betray them and block them inside the cave. Dan and Amy make it out but Alistair is "crushed" under falling rocks. Amy feels HORRIBLE that she just got betrayed by Ian Kabra (and Natalie Kabra) AND Uncle Alistair, who she really trusted. They also see Bae Oh talking about this with The Man in Black. Then they go to Alistair's estate to clean themselves. There, Dan sees Alistair's gloves (which he was wearing before the cave in), and realizes that he isn't dead. They also figure out that the next clue is in Egypt.
The book ends with Alistair Oh threatening to kill Bae Oh.
