In exotic and turbulent nineteenth century China, a wise-cracking customs official must discard his opium pipe and his nightly companions to find out who murdered his best friend, a search which embroils him in a geopolitical battle between three empires. Our reluctant hero must risk torture and death to convince a dilettante Emperor and a depraved and despotic Empress to thwart a German-Japanese plot that threatens to disintegrate the Middle Kingdom.
Book 1 in a series.

About the Author

I fell in love with China's people and history when I began teaching in Shandong Province some years ago. I'm an Australian man of no fixed address, teacher, writer, biker, sailor, with the hands of a surgeon and the body clock of a brothel owner.
