Crown

Hong Kong: Where East meets West in a boom of skyscrapers and shanty towns, of luxury hotels and sleazy waterfront bars. Where anything can be had for a price, from a pretty girl to a shipment of raw heroin.When an American mob backed by Mafia money muscles in on the colony's lucrative rackets, offering their own special brand of 'protection', they trespass on Crown's patch.Big mistake.Chief Superintendent John Crown isn't your usual policeman. Tough, bitter and ruthless, he believes that bullets speak louder than words. And he has a special dislike of trespassers. Terry Harknett has written under an array of pseudonyms, including George G.

The Chinese People's Republic-Getting into this forbidden land isn't easy, unless you're invited. Chief Superintendent John Crown of the Royal Hong Kong Police Force had no invitation. Just the help of his partner, Chang Po, and an agent of British Intelligence.The Assignment-Reach into the city of Canyon by any means available and at whatever cost, to meet a man. Why? Only Crown knew that, and he wasn't talking.Red China-Never was the name more apt that when Crown and Chang penetrated the Bamboo Curtain. For the good earth was stained crimson with the blood of all who stood in their way. At any cost they had said, and the price was high.
