<p><i><br></i>The setting is Hong Kong, 1963. The action spans scarcely more than a week, but these are days of high adventure: from kidnapping and murder to financial double-dealing and natural catastrophes--fire, flood, landslide. Yet they are days filled as well with all the mystery and romance of Hong Kong--the heart of Asia--rich in every trade...money, flesh, opium, power.<i></i><br><br><i>From the Paperback edition.</i></br></br></br></p>
