The first in a Hong Kong-based
crime trilogy featuring Detective
Alex Soong
Hong Kong, 2017.
China has bailed out the West, but
the West has defaulted on its debt.
And now someone in the shadows
is intent on making it pay.
On the eve of a crisis summit for world
economic leaders, two Chinese
Methodist ministers are killed in an
apparently motiveless execution in
Hong Kong’s financial district. Luck
makes Detective Alex Soong one of the
first officers at the scene.
Yet Soong begins to suspect his involvement to be more than incidental, and the
crime itself more than a senseless assassination: an instinct that is proven
correct when Soong is contacted by a mysterious figure, and more massacres
follow.
With the eyes of the world’s media fixed on Hong Kong, Soong must race to
intercept his tormentor, and thwart a conspiracy born from one of the bloodiest
confrontations of China’s past, which now threatens to destroy a fragile world
order.
