About this listen
Young, talented, in love with life - why should Sally have thrown herself 15 floors to her death? But as suicide is the verdict of the uncompromising Hong Kong authorities, Sally’s brother, a London-based crime reporter, begins his own investigations. As he delves into the details of Sally’s unaccountably opulent lifestyle and her mysterious work as a journalist, he is forced to recognise a very different girl from the fun-loving kid sister he remembers.
He uncovers a trail that leads him through the decadent haunts of Hong Kong ex-pat society, the ruthless wheeler-dealing of international big-business and the violent Chinese mafia underworld – to an ultimate, shocking act of revenge.

A step too far
Sadly, I didn’t get along with this one. Having just binge listened to the entire spider Shephard series this story, that started so promisingly soon petered out into a tiresome affair. I felt obliged to finish it, purely because of the wonderful narration.

Slow starter
Enjoyed it overall but it was a slow starter and I nearly gave up. Great narration and interesting plot when it finally arrived

OK
An interesting look into Hong Kong but not a great story with characters who do not last long in the memory

Love the narrator, he always gets me involved with the
characters. Plenty of twists and turns to make it interesting.

Very disappointing not the usual from Stephen leather
Unusually for Stephen leather to produce something as per this.
I think it’s time I found a new author
