Jack So is a not-so-good Samaritan and single father. When a butyraceous bombshell drops into his lap, it sets off a brutal journey through the simmering, Neon Noir™ shadows of pre-handover Hong Kong. Navigating perilous curves in pursuit of an ancient artefact, he soon discovers the past is not quite finished with him, yet. History still has a handful of harsh lessons for Jack So to learn. And history, when it comes unbidden, can really be a bitch. Bitch On Heat is the critically acclaimed first novel in Richard Tong's Neon Noir trilogy. A hybrid of prose and graphics, augmented by more 170 pages of bold illustrations. Like Jack So, and the city that spawned him, this a unique cornucopia of cultures. A post-modern mash-up. A literary journey that will surprise at every turn.

Born in Australia, raised and reborn in China, Richard Tong is an award-winning, 25-year veteran of Asian advertising. His first novel, The Durian Effect, is a fictional memoir, loosely based on his virgin encounters with the Eastl. It quickly made its way into the pantheon of contemporary Asian literature. The sequel, Me & My Potato, took an equally candid look at the breeding and birthing of bi-cultural babies. In 2014, Tong launched a series of neo-noir thrillers. Bitch On Heat, is the first and has been critically acclaimed. Hailed alongside Clavell, le Carre, Ludlum and Mason as one of the all-time 10 best books set in Hong Kong. The sequel, Sayonara Bitch, was released in December 2015.
