By Mr. John B. Meikle

Skedden, a kiwi expat, travels from New York to China on a last ditch effort to save his golf business.

Along with the threat of death, the values of tradition go head-to-head, with the passion of the heart.Elvis Presley, unexpectedly becomes the metaphor for both men during their mutual journies.John Meikle is a New Zealander living in Rye, New York when he was inspired to write this book that served as a backdrop of his early days in Australia.
