Lai Pek is a self-made man and proud of it. He has reached middle
age a successful businessman and patriarch of a thriving family.
His outlook on life is smug, self-satisfi ed and complacent. But no
one goes through life unscathed and, like a tiger silently creeping
through the jungle, adversity stalks Lai Pek, striking swiftly.
Faced with a formidable business rival, a horrifying tragedy at his
rubber plantation and a shocking crime that threatens the lives of
those dear to him, Lai Pek must reassess his values and draw on an
inner strength that he may not possess if he is to survive the
crises that life has thrown at him. Set in a small town in
peninsular Malaya in the 1930's, the story takes place against the
colourful backdrop of the lives and customs of the Chinese denizens
and the inexorable encroachment of modern ideas and infl uences on
their long-held values and ways of life.
