"He who will fight the Devil with his own weapons
must not wonder if he finds him an overmatch."
'Noi put her arms around her and stroked her hair. 'You're all right now,' she said. 'We're your friends here. I'm going to take good care of you.'
Ly May closed her eyes. It had been so long since anyone had been kind to her. She wished they wouldn't. It only made it worse when life returned to normal ...'
1978. Ly May survives the fall of Saigon and the communist camps; she survives pirates and the sinking of her flimsy raft to escape to a new life in Thailand. What gets her through is the memory of the American pilot who once saved her life.
In Bangkok she finds herself on the arm of Douglas Ho, a major player in the international heroin trade. That's when she meets her savior again; but now he is with an American drug enforcement agency.
The chiu-chau Chinese are expanding onto the US western seaboard and the potential profits are breathtaking. Douglas Ho will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Does Ly May help the man who once saved her life or risk it all to repay her debt?
From the heroin factories of the Golden Triangle to bloody gun battles in San Francisco's Chinatown to the palaces of the super rich in Hong Kong, this is a rollercoaster journey that will leave you breathless to the last page.
Completely revised and re-edited, this is the third book in The Opium series, described by one critic as 'James Clavell meets The Godfather', charting the story of the drug trade in Indochina, from sacks thrown in the back of tiny planes in the nineteen sixties to the multimillion dollar international industry that soon became the plague of the western world.
