With a world war brewing in the South Pacific, the Seattle area of 1940 is a key player in supplying the Allies with ships, bombers, and other wartime machinery. Underneath this public facade, however, another world is gathering in anticipation of the coming conflict¿that of the international intelligence community! Following a tip from his mentor Vic Morrison, young Alan Stewart uses his detective skills to track down Tiger Lee, a sexy American operative on a mission to disrupt the Japanese spy network. Working together, the two set out to eliminate the head of their Japanese rivals: Micha Ohara, a.k.a the White Dragon, a dangerous and exotic woman samurai whose movements are shrouded in mystery. What begins as a hunt for justice quickly turns into a maelstrom of revenge¿and a race against the clock as politics becomes personal and loyalties are tested from every side. Returning to the scene of his first novel, Thick as Thieves, author Neil Low proves once again that in the shadowy underbelly of a city nothing is as it first appears, and what you don¿t know just might hurt you after all¿.
