An enthralling tale of courtroom drama, blackmail and high
adventure in Hong Kong in the last year of British rule, from the
bestselling author of Hold My Hand I'm Dying and Roots of Outrage.
Adventure, romance, political insight and dramatic locations -
ingredients that have established John Gordon Davis as a major name
in international adventure thrillers. Now he has added his own
experience as a lawyer in Hong Kong to create an action-packed
tale, filled with powerful courtroom scenes, set against the
dramatic background of a city preparing for political upheaval. Al
Hargreave, Hong Kong's Director of Public Prosecutions, is taking a
break in nearby Macao to recover from the collapse of his marriage
when he meets Olga, a beautiful Russian. Almost before he knows
what's happening, they are planning a new life together - the only
problem is that Olga's pimp has other ideas. Suddenly Olga is
snatched away, and Al is presented with an impossible dilemma.
Either he commits professional suicide by intentionally losing a
case against a Russian Mafia boss, or he gives up any chance of
happiness, and leaves Olga to suffer an unknown fate at the hands
of her captors in Moscow.
