Is there any place more precarious than booming, bustling Hong Kong? In the throes of its last days under British imperial rule, this thriving island faces return to mainland China, and if you think that will occur peacefully...think again. Ask Detective Chief Inspector Harry Feiffer of Yellowthread Street Police Station. Just weeks before the great takeover, he faces the most peculiar and frightening case of his curious career. For no apparent reason, corpses suddenly are surfacing throughout the island: in the glittering men's room of the Millionaire's Club...on the deck of a landlocked, has-been ferry...at the Temple of a Thousand Buddhas in front of the Monkey God. But more than misfortune unites the victims: each was a wealthy industrialist, and each had desperately clawed out his eyes before dying. Meanwhile, Detective Senior Inspector Christopher O'Yee grapples with six hideous, somnambulistic, heavily armed demons who seem to have sleepwalked into the station, turning O'Yee's life into a bad dream. Worse yet, Detective Inspector Auden has unearthed an enormous bomb in the basement; an awesome discovery that leads him and his colleague, Detective Inspector Spencer, on a dire Voyage of Self-Discovery through Threat of Detonation.
