Larew maintains a relatively simple mystery, which effectively juggles Lee’s multiple predicaments. The questions only build when there’s another disappearance, followed shortly thereafter by a murder. Lee pokes around bank accounts and makes inquiries, but her investigation turns personal when she uncovers a decades-old connection between the Chau Fong and both Sidney and her late father, Bill. Cops arrested him during the demonstrations (along with others, including Lee), but now Percy, like his dad, is missing. ![]() Henry’s son, Percy, is equally perplexing. But Lee can’t immediately link the antiques dealer to anything illicit that would involve the triads. She learns the men took Henry to a bar owned by the criminal triad group Chau Fong. ![]() ![]() She tails them but gets caught in a frenzied mob of democracy demonstrators. Unfortunately, almost as soon as Lee makes it to Wong Antiques, she spots two strangers leading Henry away. Though Lee no longer works for Sidney Worthington, she agrees to see if anything is amiss with his friend and Hong Kong contact Henry Wong, who hasn’t made contact in nearly two months. In Larew’s ( Aftermath, 2017, etc.) thriller, Lee Carruthers’ latest case takes her to Hong Kong to check on her ex–CIA boss’s contact. ![]()
