International bestselling author Ian Hamilton returns with a riveting
new novel featuring fan-favourite Uncle Chow Tung, who is called upon to
end a violent turf war between rival gangs and stop Chinese authorities
from eliminating the triad societies once and for all.
Hong Kong, 1995. Two years before Hong Kong is to be returned to the
People's Republic of China, the Communist government has its eye on the
New Territories, and tensions are running high among the triads. At the
root of the tensions is a fear of what will become of Hong Kong after
the Communists take over. Seeking to strengthen their positions, several
triad gangs begin a violent turf war in Macau that quickly spreads to
Hong Kong. Uncle realizes that prolonged violence will result in a
crackdown by the organized crime bureau of the Hong Kong police, and
steps in to mediate a ceasefire. His efforts are met with resistance,
and soon his own territory of Fanling is attacked by a neighbouring
gang.
Meanwhile, Uncle expresses his concerns about the future to his partners
in China. Their response comes as a surprise and leads to an unexpected
outcome that will have a lasting effect on the triad societies for
decades to come.
