Product Description
Synopsis
There are ten years before China is due to repossess Hong Kong, but the KGB is already planning to undermine Hong Kong's precarious financial stability, to ensure that the Chinese inherit only an empty, worthless shell. By the author of "Blood Rules" and "The Tiger of Desire".
From the Back Cover
For Hong Kong time is running out. The day when one of the world's most important financial centres is handed over to the control of Communist China grows ever closer – and already the bitter struggle for power in the Far East has begun.
Outside forces are determined to undermine Hong Kong's financial stability – and to ensure that China inherits nothing but a worthless, empty shell. Pitted against them are the elite of Chines Intelligence, the Mahjong Brigade, who plan to sabotage the plot, using as their instrument Simon Young – an influential Hong Kong 'tai-pan'.
A master in the mannered warfare of global finance, Young is a novice in the hostile world of international espionage. If he is to survive at all he must secure his own allies in this deadly game. But even his beautiful Chinese wife, Jinny, has secrets to conceal…
"John Trenhaile has struck gold…a gripping tale of high finance and intrigue"
MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
"Intricate, tense, rich in characters, incident, drama and intriguing details of life in its exotic locale. Trenhaile will please the most ardent fans of spy fare with this gripping story"
