In Hong Kong a middle-aged civil servant stands with his cricket bat in his hands in the sunshine. As he waits for the next delivery he must make a life-changing decision. By the shores of the Bay of Bengal an old fisherman walks along the forest path in the dawn thinking of his tiger. On the deck of a sailing ship off the coast of Java a planter gazes out over the sea at night. From a box in his coat he selects his last ever Java cigar. On the banks of the Zambezi a hunter lies on his camp bed, listening to the drums across the river in the night. Trevor Hughes has spent many years travelling in some of the world's remoter places: in Africa, Australia, India, Bangladesh, China, south-east Asia, the Pacific Islands and many more. In this first collection of short stories he delivers a compelling series of award-winning tales of crime, passion, betrayal and revenge in places ranging from the African bush to the jungles of Bengal: from the skyscrapers of Hong Kong to the Australian outback, from Japan and Korea to the Spice Islands of Indonesia. Each tale bringing unexpected twists of fate in the world's far-flung places.
