Publisher's Synopsis

HUNGRY GHOST

Geoff Howells, a government-trained killer, is sent to Hong Kong to assassinate Chinese Mafia leader Simon Ng. Howells devises a complicated plan to reach his intended victim - only to find himself the next target . . .



Patrick Dugan, a lowly Hong Kong policeman, has dangerous connections - his sister is married to Ng. But when Ng and his daughter disappear, Dugan gets caught up in an international spying intrigue that is running violently out of control . . .



THE CHINAMAN

Silent and lethal, he had killed for the Viet Cong and then for the Americans, but years later, building up a take-away business in London, all that was behind him.



Until his wife and youngest daughter were killed by an IRA bomb. Then, simply but persistently, he began to ask the authorities what was being done. And was fobbed off, treated as a nuisance.



Which was when the Chinaman, denied justice, decided on revenge.
