It is Hong Kong in 1986. Unjustly kicked out of the Hong Kong police, Danny Tyler is making a living any way he can: a little private detecting, a little opium smuggling, a little blackmail. Soon he hopes to marry Miranda, daughter of Hong Kong tycoon Walter Wong. Walter Wong has two plans. One is to make a fortune by manipulating the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The other is to ensure that his daughter will never marry Danny Tyler.
A woman dressed as a ninja warrior breaks into Danny's apartment and threatens to kill him but who is Mr Nakamura and why must Danny stay away from the Marishiko case?
A Russian agent looking to make a killing; a dead man in a Hong Kong hotel; a Japanese yakuza gang bent on revenge; an old ship slowly crossing the South China Sea; a hitman brought in from China by the 14K triad.
In Moscow an ageing spy reveals a twenty-year-old secret. And while Typhoon Olivia brews in the seas east of the Philippines Danny Tyler continues his reckless lifestyle in the bars, the girlie joints and the opium dens unaware that he is bound for a fate that really is worse than death.
Loaded with booze, sex and violence, drugs and murder, beautiful treacherous women, triads, night-clubs, topless bars, spies, money and sudden death: In Hong Kong and the Night reveals what Hong Kong was really like in its glory daysAlso from
