Plot summary

Angel Wolfe is an inspector with the L.A.P.D. When her brother Rob is killed during a robbery at a Chinatown jewelry shop, she sets out to find the people behind it. Federal agent Rick Stanton, an old friend, tells her about Lee Chuck, a wizard said to have won immortality, and about Dr. Sin Do, the leader of a cult who is reported to be in league with him. Sin Do lures women to his island fortress, Golgatha, in threes, offering riches, and stages a martial arts tournament there. Angel brings in Whitestar, a friend from an Indian reservation, and Heather McClure, a prisoner offered a parole, and the three sign on so that Angel can reach the men she is looking for.
