A must-read for those who want to learn why Hong Kong is Asia's success story today, but may well be a casualty of history after the transfer of sovereignty on 30 June 1997. It is the first book to look at Hong Kong not from the perspective of Britain, the present landlord, or China, the future one -- but instead tells the story from the viewpoint of the 6.3 million people who call Hong Kong home. Instead of the freedom, human rights and democracy promised to Hong Kong people, this book explains why Beijing will make a mess both of the transfer of sovereignty and the fragile free society Hong Kong is today

This is an unusual murder mystery set, as are most of William Marshall's books, in the fictional Hong Bay section of Hong Kong in the last several decades of British rule in Hong Kong. This time, Chief Inspector Fieffer, O'Yee, Spencer,and Auden are looking for a seemingly cold-blooded killer who is murdering Hong Kong residents who apparently have no connection to each other. As in other Yellowthread Street mysteries, it is up to Fieffer and company to figure out the connection between the crimes they are investigating. In this book, the connection is filled with irony, sadness, and greed, making this book far more than just a murder mystery. Marshall deserves to be much better known, and read, in this country than he apparently is. I hope, with Amazon.com's help, that he finds additional readers.

It takes Hong Kong's history and digests the events into reality of today. What we see now is the result of history. Flowerdew reviews every aspect of the handover negotiations, including the role that each player had and their stakes. It is one of the best I've read.

Excellent thought-provoking book

I have just went to Hong Kong a week a go. I read Fodor's 99 Hong Kong Travel Guide. It was a big help. With maps of the airport to tips on traveling. I do not know what would of happened without it.

If you're having trouble getting past the combination plate, this book will teach your palate how to tickle. I've tried three recipes and look forward to the next as soon as my internist gives the okay. Two chopsticks up!

A great book to have to hand if part or all of your financial portfolio is or is likely to be in the Hong Kong Equity markets.

Is a great book and there a lot of wonderful picture. I love it

I'm a studenf of the author at University of Hong Kong, although he's an American , his book tell me more about HK than anything else ever did. I began to have a fresh look at the things that's been around me for so long. This book is a must read for those Americans who know nothing but to raise the "free Tibet"sign whenever a Chinese official arrive and those who keep saying how Hong Kong will be a ruin after the handover.
