About the Book

The critically acclaimed saga of love, danger, and deception in Hong Kong is from the award-winning author of "The Debt to Pleasure."

Book Synopsis

It is 1935, and Tom Stewart, a young Englishman with a longing for adventure, buys himself a cheap ticket aboard the SS Darjeeling-en route to the complex and corrupt world of Hong Kong.
