This is the second in Davis' Hong Kong series. It was not as interesting as the first one, but was still a good read. I enjoy the Hong Kong context and would have liked to see Hong Kong when it was British as a comparison to post handover times. Like the first, this is essentially a love story but it has strong crime sub plots and is set around interesting historical events. Apparently there is a third, so I will look forward to that. I will also pursue his earlier novels set in Africa.
