Follow the Dragon An Historical Novel of British Hong Kong

ATTEND HIS HONG KONG FUNERAL
THEN UNCOVER HIS SECRETS…

Follow the Dragon, an historical novel of British Hong Kong, hurtles from true events in south China during WWII to thirty-five years later in the colorful British colony.
In 1980 Jake Salter returns to Hong Kong for his father's funeral and vows to unearth a problem hinted in their last phone call. Jake finds secret WWII journals with his dad's personal wartime history: the British Operation Remorse and the British Army Aid Group. The enlightening entries include saving the life of Commander M.T. Kwan.
Kwan, now an elderly billionaire called the Dragon, convinces Jake to step in for his deceased father to help confront an existential threat, resulting in Jake risking his life, and having to face a dogged Royal Hong Kong Police Inspector's related investigation. Jake and Kwan realize their family names and fortunes will encounter monumental disaster if his dad's cryptic problem is revealed.

The author spent twenty years as a banking executive, mostly in Asia and London. There were two tours in Hong Kong; he felt in many ways the most interesting and exciting assignments. Certainly a great deal of the story, Follow the Dragon, results from real experience in the colony.
Two other fiction projects are in progress, both in south China and related to true events in WWII.
The author and his wife live in Houston. Among other things, he is a long time member of the Asia Hands Society of New York and the Historical Novel Society. His website is jwdbooks.com.
