About the Book

The year is 2007. The author returns with the third exciting and fact-based book in his acclaimed Hong Kong/People’s Republic of China police procedural series featuring the Hong Kong police department’s cosmopolitan, clothes-conscious, fledgling gourmet cook Chief Inspector Augustus Fox, formerly top case-solver with the NYPD Homicide Squad. 2007 is only one year removed from the beginning of the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing. The People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong’s folder holder since 1997, has committed to the communist politburo that the region will be essentially crime- free in the period leading up to and immediately following the Summer Olympics. Communists leaders have ordered a force-backed hiatus on crime to ensure China can convince the hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors scheduled to attend the Games that the PRC is far more orderly, more modern, more industrious, and has infrastructure superior to any other country in the world including its traditional enemy the United States. By attracting a great ground swell of new foreign investment in their country, China intends to ensure the country becomes the world’s new economic and military super power by the politburo’s goal of 2010. Unfortunately for China, the diamond in their financial crown, Hong Kong, has just uncovered an Asia-wide black market industry of illegal body parts harvesters flourishing right under their noses. Add to that the fact that the secret police of the PRC have learned that the Hong Kong’s triads have formed an mutual benefit allegiance with Osama Bin-Laden to stage terrorist attacks on Olympic tourists during the 2008 Summer Game in Beijing. The PRC is ordering hits in Hong Kong on triad members; the body part harvesters have declared all out war on the Hong Kong police department; and a serial cop killer is running up the headcount on Hong Kong’s streets. Once again Chief Inspector Augustus Fox’s elite Hong Kong police Crimes Again Persons directorate must swing into action and become anti-crime street sweepers before the China carries through on its threat to send in fifty thousand troops to put the former crown colony under marshal law, thus ending forever China’s hopes of becoming a modern democratic market-based economy.
