About the book

For Hong Kong policeman Laurie McKillop, his role has become largely symbolic since the handover, with the Chinese secret police the new authority in the former colony. But when he is contacted by an old CIA acquaintance with a very strange story to tell of a secret Chinese-American weapons project that has suddenly become red-hot, he is about to find himself back in the front line. And when his American friend is ruthlessly hunted down by the secret police, he begins to realize that the Chinese are not the only ones who need him dead.
