Hong Kong Private Eye

Robert Leung thought life would get simpler after he left the Hong Kong Police. He was wrong. Now a private investigator working out of a cramped office above a mahjong parlour in Wan Chai, Leung lives in the shadowy spaces between Hong Kong's bright skyline and its narrow back lanes. With one foot in each world-Chinese and British, cop and civilian-he's the man people call when their problems are too delicate for the police, too messy for lawyers, and too strange for anyone else. From triad misunderstandings and vanishing ferrymen to counterfeit medicine, disappearing dim sum, and unintentional turf wars, Leung's cases pull him from Central boardrooms to Sham Shui Po tenements, from rooftop villages to the underbelly of the harbour. He deals with corporate sharks, desperate migrants, panicking office workers, eccentric old ladies, rogue couriers, and more than a few characters who think they're part of a criminal empire... but really aren't. Leung is smart enough to ask the right questions, stubborn enough to keep digging, and just skilled enough in self-defence to stay one step ahead of the fists aimed at him, instinct is his compass, and trouble-well, trouble just has his number. Action-packed, atmospheric, and laced with dry wit.
