The Black Parrot
A stranger arrives in Surabaya carrying only a black bag and a caged cockatoo. The man who calls himself Garon bears the sun-darkened skin of the tropics and a scar that gives his face an insolent expression-but his true identity is far more dangerous. Whispers along the waterfronts speak of Le Perroquet Noir, the Black Parrot, a phantom who spirits condemned men from the hellish penal colonies of French Guiana and vanishes without trace.
When a beautiful young woman finds herself captive aboard a yacht bound for a remote trading post in the Malay archipelago, she is drawn into a web of stolen treasures, escaped convicts, and ruthless ambition. At Malay House, where a self-styled rajah rules over his jungle kingdom, identities blur and alliances shift like the monsoon winds. The mysterious overseer with the scarred temple may hold the key to her freedom-or her destruction.
In a world of sultans and schemers, where fortunes are made in contraband and men disappear into the equatorial night, the line between hunter and hunted grows dangerously thin.
