KINA. Life is cheap: 'If you can't swing a deal in Hong Kong, it can't be done,' a banker once said. And the biggest deal of all time will happen on 1 July 1997, with the Turnover of Hong Kong to China.
It is a society on the brink of chaos, where blood is shed for a paltry price and palms are greased if the connections are right.
SURVIVAL IS DEAR: With an international struggle for dominance over the colony looming ominously in the background, a business empire lies in turmoil.
For Vicky Macintosh, daughter of Hong Kong's most powerful Caucasian, its survival is a challenge - and a necessity. But for once she has met her match in Vivian Loh, her father's Chinese mistress - as ruthlessly ambitious as she is stunningly beautiful.
THE NINE DRAGONS ia gripping, powerful story about the bitter struggle of two women intent on controlling the interests of the world's most volatile city.
"A deftly written, continually exciting and highly entertaining novel of intrigue... compulsively readable and thoroughly enjoyable." Washington Post
