JADE

by Gwen Davis

Skyscrapers and sampans, opium-scented alleyways and penthouses tinged with the allure of perfume and money, Hong Kong beckons with the promise of a place where every desire--and every obsession--can be fulfilled. Now, as the British Colony hovers on the brink of takeover by the Chinese mainland, three unforgettable women descend into the city's exotic, erotic, ever-darkening Claire Black, the American widow in the thrall of a beguiling younger man ... Maggie Evans, the jade designer searching for answers to her beautiful daughter's violent murder and for pleasures that can help her forget the pain ... and Judith Taylor, the savvy journalist intrigued by the city's tawdry underside and the one man in Hong Kong who knows it best of all.
