The British Crown Colony is on the verge of reverting to Chinese rule. Life is hectic but tentative; there are fears for the future.
The
governments of Hong Kong and the United Kingdom are doing all they can
to calm local nerves while at the same time pressing Beijing’s rulers to
the north for assurances that the rule of law will be maintained.
Beneath
the surface other forces are at work; criminal forces dating back
centuries but still very much alive. There is a triad war, a war where
the winner
will amass great power.
Some triad
gangs are opportunistic small time pimps and extortionists. Others are
extremely well organised and control exceptionally high-value narcotics
and other illicit business interests. And
they are notoriously brutal to their enemies.
The
agencies of law enforcement are involved not just in Hong Kong but
across the globe. So too is Simon Garrett; unintentionally but
intimately involved. Where not only his
life is at stake but others who are dear to him. Their futures are
being controlled by a shadowy gangster who will stop at nothing to get
what he wants; a green jade Buddha of immense symbolic power.
The Shī fu.
Some welcome exposure for The Jade Buddha in The January Magazine in the US (Vancouver based)
