The Sound of Pirates

It has been more than twenty years since Ex-Squadron Leader Duncan Laing saw her, since when he thought she had been executed by the Japanese...until he meets John Newton.

Newton, ex Royal Air Force, whose last posting was at RAF Changi, Singapore, has seen Anna with his own eyes. What could be more straightforward than Newton being tasked with bringing Anna back to England, to reunite her with Laing, now a manufacturer of high tech electronic components?

When Newton arrives, Anna and her daughter Lucy are nowhere to be found. Times have changed and 1960s Singapore is a hotbed of conspiracy and undercover activities. After falling foul of communist renegades, Anna and Lucy are on the run. Newton sets off on a perilous quest to find them. As he chases through the Malacca Straits, Newton needs all the help he can get, but who is his enemy's enemy and can he trust him not to change sides?

And how are the renegades caught up in industrial espionage?
