Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)One of Ernest K. Gann's many classics. The story takes place in Hong Kong in the 1950's. A woman goes searching for her husband who has been captured by the chinese communists. She procures the help of a mysterious American with shadowy connections to help get him back. A finely crafted novel with many interesting characters, but also very believable, with a splendid ending. They don't write them like this anymore. And even if they tried they could'nt top Ernie Gann. For some interesting insight read Gann's autobiography, A HOSTAGE TO FORTUNE, with some background on developing the story for this book as well as being a very interesting book in its own right.
