Contents:
Peter Leong is a top crime reporter. One day some friends of his family asked him if he would help them with Julie Chan. Julie Chan is a young attractive girl. First Peter wasn't very interested in this case. But after some time he got very interested in Julie Chan.
Julie Chan wanted to visit a friend of her family in Hong Kong. But she didn't. Julie arrived a day earlier as she planned. She went to a dirty third class hotel and stayed there for one day. In the next morning she went out and never came back.
Peter knew the manager of the hotel. He was famous for his dirty business. After talking with the housemaid he found out, that Julie Chan had asked about a medicine shop. So Peter went to this shop. There he found a photo of Julie Chan but not more, because the owner had locked him out. Next day he got a call from a man. The man said that he should look after the "Seabird", a boat which was in Aberdeen. There Peter found the Seabird, but the Seabird was out in the sea. He only saw a man fighting with a woman. But a security man stopped him when he wanted to help the woman.
Later he had a fight in a car park with some men he didn't know. But Irene Kwok, a model who wanted to visit a club, helped him. At this time he recognised that behind this case there were some powerful men. When he came to his apartment the security guard told him that there was a strange man looking for him. Peter and the security man could catch the person for some seconds but in the end he escaped. But Peter could see who it had been. It was Julie Chan. He thought that she was hiding at the medicine shop. So he went there. But he couldn't do anything. There had been a fight before. The police was already there. Now he had to tell Inspector Tsen from the police, what he knew.
Next morning Peter found a letter in his post box.
If you want to know what was written in the letter and how the case ended you have to read the book.
My personal comment:
I like the book very much. It is very exciting. It was also easy to understand. I would like to read another book from Kris Anderson. I can recommend the book to everybody who likes easy and thrilling English book.
