When Dennis Wheatley flew off to tour the Far East anyone could have foretold that he would soon be entertaining his vast public with a gripping tale set in the flamboyant Orient. Here is the first fruit of his thirty-thousand-mile journey. The opening of the story is macabre: a Japanese father regarding the severed head of his son which had been sent to him in a box.
Of that, the lovely half-English, half-Chinese Merri Sang knew nothing, neither did Julian Day nor Bill Urata, both of whom were in love with her; but the father's thirst for revenge brought all three of them into deadly peril.
The story moves swiftly to Hong Kong as it is today, but the reader is temporarily carried back to those terrible days when the beautiful island was invaded by the Japanese who, in many cases, treated their prisoners with appalling barbarity. . . .
