"Kung delivers a touching story enriched by its strong Hong Kong atmosphere.” Publishers Weekly

"This is a Hong Kong readers don’t come across very often and the author brings the city alive." Chicago Tribune

Hong Kong's Lunar New Year break is over and Business World’s testy New York editors are howling for China copy. Unfortunately, Hong Kong bureau chief Claire Raymond’s new colleague Vic has gone missing. Plus, she’s contending with a nasty surprise on her doorstep—a Chinese mainland doctor confessing to murder.

With only a year to go before Beijing takes over the British colony, China's transition to power is revealing its dark and lawless side. Claire's desperate search to rescue Vic across Hong Kong’s border with China leads through the free-for-all landscape of Guangdong's coastal export boom into the murky use of Communist prison labor to feed the organ transplant trade. And Claire's hard-won career in a man’s world may be meeting stiff competition for her attention now that she’s met the dashing Swiss, Xavier Vonalp, setting up a Hong Kong base for his UN employers.

Novelist D. L. Kung worked as a journalist for over twenty years in Asia for publications including Business Week, the Economist, the Washington Post, National Public Radio and the International Herald Tribune. Kung won the Overseas Press Club award for Best Humanitarian Coverage in 1991 and was nominated for the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2004.
