Bankok Bob series book 2
Narrator Paul Thornley

Other journalists admire and envy the foreign correspondent who is sent on
emergency trips to the world's hot spots to cover big, fast-breaking news
stories; they call him "The Fireman", a first-class operator and expert
trouble-shooter who moves in, gets the story and moves out - fast, efficient,
clean. But when he's past his glory days, just a second-string reporter on
London's crime beat, knocked off the foreign circuit by his own alcoholic
benders - when the story is his sister's unexplained fifteen-story fall to
her death, the place is the teeming, exotic city of Hong Kong, and the
players a gang of vicious Chinese mercenaries, trouble-shooting involves real
bullets, and the result is far from clean. Young, talented, in love with life -
why should Sally have thrown herself 15 floors to her death? But as suicide is
the verdict of the uncompromising Hong Kong authorities, Sally.s brother,
a London-based crime reporter, begins his own investigations. As he delves
into the details of Sally.s unaccountably opulent lifestyle and her mysterious
work as a journalist, he is forced to recognise a very different girl from the
fun-loving kid sister he remembers. He uncovers a trail that leads him through
the decadent haunts of Hong Kong ex-pat society, the ruthless wheeler-dealing
of international big-business and the violent Chinese mafia underworld . to
an ultimate, shocking act of revenge.
