Description
IntroductionIs blood really thicker than water? How far does your religious and cultural history define you as a person? Can a good person do bad things for good reasons and still be a good person?When everything you've thought to be true about yourself turns out to be false, do you burn your bridges and drift along through life, or do you blaze a different path?Some secrets are better left untold. Devastated by the dying revelations of the woman he had believed to be his mother Chan Tai keung felt his privileged world tear apart, he wanted to blow the world apart in retribution. His world was Hong Kong and China. Part of that world was Ben Varley, a jaded and disillusioned expat police officer who had stayed on after Hong Kong had been reunified with China. His world was far from perfect, his life full of human errors in his fight to be true to his own conscience.When despair meets hope, two worlds collide.
