By Michael Peart

Determined lawyer Ben McCann needs a lucrative case to boost his struggling law practice in Hong Kong. When he is hired to represent a clan who claims ownership to an ancient temple in the wilds of the New Territories, worth millions of dollars, he grabs the chance. But when the trial judge is found dead, stabbed in his bed, Ben's world changes overnight. His trusted assistant Tyler is charged with the Judge's murder. Can Ben find out the truth before Tyler is given a life sentence? How is the clan case related to the murder? Ben and his team explore the underbelly of the local Chinese underworld to fight the local triads and Government corruption that threatens not only the clan's case but also Ben's life. This is a light-hearted legal thriller that showcases Hong Kong life before the handover to China in 1997, both in the legal world and generally. Michael Peart is a retired lawyer, having practiced in England, Hong Kong and Thailand throughout his career. This is his first novel. His second novel, The Samui Conspiracy, is now available.
