- Summary:
- "John Ho is a detective sergeant in London's East End. He's an unlikely cop: he's quiet, he's a loner, and, though a cockney, his blood is pure Chinese. But don't be deceived. This detective is tough and remorseless. ... John, however, is fired by an obsession that requires him to be a great detective. He is determined to avenge his father's disgrace at the hands of a corrupt policeman. Working his cases alongside his private revenge, John edges ever closer to bringing his quarry to justice."--Container.
