When my daughter was born with Down Syndrome (and other issues) I founded two charities, one currently employs over 100 social workers. When my wife was diagnosed with cancer I started the research that has resulted in a number of cancer related books - The Cancer Survivor's Bible being the big one (www.fightingcancer.com) - but all the while I was writing novels. I now live in Spain near Valencia.

Some periods in history are best illuminated by the stories of the people who lived through them. This is one such story ? the bizarre but true account of Peter Hui, a man involved with scandal, corruption, drugs, pirates, triads and colonial high society; who collaborated with the Japanese, spied on the Communists and fought with American servicemen on R&R; who really did, for a short time, own all the opium in Hong Kong.
