TSUI

Set over a period of sixteen years, this incredibly detailed, diverse and intricately plotted book travels from Hong Kong to the Philippines, to Scotland, New Zealand, China and Japan. Mixing ancient culture with modern, business with religion, terrorism with tradition, the novel is a potent mix of politics, sex, double dealing and family wars, its explosive climax being fuelled all the way by dangerous characters, seething tension, and a desire for power from all sides. Characters form alliances, sell themselves to the highest bidder, socialise with enemies as readily as with friends, and exploit everyone for a fast buck. And everywhere.
