Chinese intrigue in Cape Cod

By: Voltan, Anthony

A GREAT THRILLER

It is the middle of the night. Karen Wharton is returning home to the waterfront in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, when she rescues a Chinese boy who has just emerged exhausted from the ocean. Song Luwei, despite his resigned appearance, has become the target of a colossal search. An unwilling witness to a sordid affair that could have devastating effects on the political world of New England, his pursuers have decided that he absolutely must be eliminated.
A chance encounter with Karen, the daughter of a county police lieutenant, confronts him with a dramatic choice: reveal what he has discovered to the police in exchange for protection, or continue to run and hide, crushed by the weight of a past he cannot forget.
Having survived the ferocious rules that punctuate the life of Shanghai's Chinese nomenklatura only to end up, despite himself, under the yoke of the Chinese mafia that rules American Chinatowns, Song courageously faces the risks of a painful redemption by collaborating with the FBI in an investigation with increasingly disturbing implications. Only to discover, finally, that he has surprisingly become the protagonist of a lethal game in which words are replaced by bullets.
