Titles by William Marshall
Yellowthread Street Mysteries
Hong Kong is an island some thirty square miles in the South China Sea facing Kowloon and New Territories areas of continental China, until 1997 under British colonial administration, but now returned to China as an SAR, a Special Administrative Region, under the old British-style judicial system of The Rule of Law and its own totally independent system of naked capitalism gone mad.
The climate is generally sub-tropical, with hot, humid summers and heavy rainfall. The population of Hong Kong and the surrounding areas at any one time, including tourists and visitors, is in excess of seven and a half million people.
Hong Bay is on the southern side of the island, doesn't seem to belong to anyone and never did, has no rules or system at all, and the tourist brochures advise you not to go there after dark.
