NOW A NATIONAL BESTSELLER
One of The Los Angeles Times' "Five Fall Mysteries You Shouldn't
Miss"
Things get personal for Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja Lily Wong in
Hong Kong when she dives into the dangerous world of triads, romance,
and corporate disaster during the height of the pro-democracy protests.
Lily's mother has been summoned by her grandfather, Gung-Gung to attend
an emergency board meeting. Lily is happy to take her father's place for
exotic travel, family reunions, and romantic dates with her new
boyfriend, Daniel Kwok, who's there for business. Lily and her mother
stay at her grandparents' hillside home on Hong Kong Island, but tension
between Gung-Gung and Ma makes it hard to enjoy the beautiful
surroundings, especially with the city in turmoil. Gung-Gung won't say
anything about the meeting and Ma is worried that her career is in
jeopardy. Meanwhile, the teenage daughter of Gung-Gung's driver is
pulled into the dangerous riots.
As Lily and Ma discover shaky finances, questionable loans, and plans
for the future involving them both, Lily's escalating romance with
Daniel puts her heart at risk. Will her ninja skills allow her to
protect her mother, the family business, and the renegade teen while
navigating love, corporate intrigue, and murderous triads?
