About this book

The setting is Hong Kong, 1963.

The action spans scarcely more than a week, but these are the days of high from kidnapping and murder to financial double-dealing and natural catastrophes -- fire, flood, and landslide. Yet they are days filled as well with all the mystery and romance of Hong Kong -- the heart of Asia -- rich in every trade... money, flesh, opium, power.
