VICTIMS OF INTRIGUE
About
Book two in the series.
Originally published together with parts one and three as the single volume ‘The Deserter’s Daughter.’ That novel has now been depublished and replaced by the series as stated.
The story so far: Karn, as he’s now known, is living under the radar in Hong Kong with his adopted daughter Isobel after escaping from Vietnam, where he killed his commanding officer and a local gangster. A novel he’s written has made the bestseller list, but he’s discovered that his arteries and heart have been seriously compromised by exposure to Agent Orange, rendering him impotent. Isobel, rightly concerned about unwanted publicity, is expecting a baby. And a mysterious, disturbing message has reached Karn from America.
Meanwhile virile young journalist Tom Bellamy has arrived in Hong Kong looking for fun, fame and fortune. It’s not long before he succumbs to the allure and sensuality of the colony. Eleanor Baldwin, a scatty expatriate, and beautiful Chinese model Romanda Chang made their first appearances in the first novel ‘Victims of War.’ All will play seminal roles in the story as the drama unfolds.
