- Summary:
- In his new novel, Marshall ponders the end of an era - as Hong Kong sheds its Western mask and enters China forever. After them: the deluge. Detective Senior Inspector Christopher O'Yee, sitting at his desk in Yellowthread Street Station, knows it: now O'Yee is waiting for the barbaric representative of a barbaric Communist nation to make his barbaric appearance in his office. Harry Feiffer knows it, staring down at the decapitated corpse of the big, good-humored Australian-born detective who had been his friend. And Detectives Spencer and Auden know it, as they investigate a threat to the existence of the universe - and find, deep within the abandoned castle of the Geomancers' Union, the passageway to hell itself. To The End is a tale of politics, history, and corruption as well as a shocking murder case. It captures a moment in time when men and women lose their familiar world and discover the mystery they had taken for granted.
