小說 > 偵探推理小說
Set in Beijing and Hong Kong, ARTICLE 109 is a high-octane, page-turning thriller. A young solicitor, investigating the suicide of his former colleague, unravels a conspiracy to cause chaos on the financial markets by instigating the downfall of one of Asia's richest tycoons. ARTICLE 109, Joint-Winner of the Proverse Prize 2011, lifts the lid on Hong Kong’s fragile status as an international financial centre and the role it plays in China’s unrelenting march towards becoming the most powerful global economic superpower. Amazon reviews: 5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly enjoyable, 28 Dec 2012 By "Eastlife" This modern-day legal thriller was a surprise page-turner. Set in Hong Kong, the ever-thriving financial hub of Asia, its clever plot and suspenseful storyline is sure to keep you hooked. I liked the well-compartmentalised structure of chapters, which made it easy for me to follow through. I would recommend this book if you like crime fiction with a contemporary twist. 5.0 out of 5 stars Article 109, 1 Jan 2013 By "Sophie": An exciting and well crafted novel. The division of the book into relatively short chapters racks up the continuing suspense as each chapter ends on a tantalising note with the reader wanting more. The absence of any major sub-plots concentrates the reader's attention on the main gripping story. The detailed description of locations and events enables the reader to visualise the action as it takes place, especially for those who know Hong Kong well. The author certainly knows his stuff! The nail-biting climax certainly parallels the best of time-honoured crime fiction.
