Kowloon West, Hong Kong 1992. The police are facing a heavily armed criminal fraternity on the streets of Yau Tsim and Mong Kok.
Newly recruited British inspectors continue to be posted to the most active areas of the Territory by a senior management previously scarred by the rampant corruption of the 1970s. Yau Ma Tei Police Station is no exception, managed predominantly by British inspectors who are expected to settle in, learn their command and assimilate into the local Chinese culture and its criminal activity.
Mike Sharp introduces the reader to an extraordinary way of life through the eyes of Inspector Graham Brooke, who has departed an unpromising life in merchant banking and is doing his best to handle the everyday challenges of policing a local population who may or may not want to be policed by an Englishman or indeed any other characters sent from the departing colonial power.
