Typhoon Season

Anything can happen in the Typhoon Season. As Clive Spillman, an American journalist based in Hong Kong, discovers when the body of a crooked policeman is found floating in the harbor. This sets off a chain of dramatic events, events that take you to a luxury mansion on The Peak, to a kung-fu film set, to seething back streets, to a Buddhist monastery — and to the delights of the Pink Heaven Bar in Wan Chai.
The action never flags when Clive finds himself on the run, striving desperately to establish his innocence as he encounters an exotic cast of characters, some of whom have distinctly unfriendly intentions. This fast-paced thriller grips the attention up to the spectacular climax — and then produces an unexpected final twist.
The author vividly captures the atmosphere of the so-called Pearl of the Orient thanks to his years working in Hong Kong as a journalist — both when it was a British colony and later when it returned to Chinese rule.
All characters in this book are fictitious. But anybody familiar with Hong Kong — one of the world's most fascinating cities with its full share of heroes and villains of all nationalities — will recognise certain characteristics of the main players.
