The second book in the gripping Ava Lee spin-off series features
fan-favourite Uncle Chow Tung and his ascendancy to the head of the
Triad gang in Fanling.
1980: A pivotal year in modern Chinese history as Premier Deng Xiaoping
begins what he intends to be the transformation of China into an
economic superpower. The most visible evidence of Deng's policy is the
creation of Special Economic Zones, and one has been set up in Shenzhen,
next door to Hong Kong and on Fanling's doorstep. Among Triad leaders,
Uncle is the only one who recognizes that Deng's intentions could have
profound repercussions on their organizations. To protect his gang and
their interests, he acts to not only minimize the danger, but to turn
events to his advantage.
