Beschreibung:
I'm a father of two and live in Edmonton, Alberta with my wife, thirteen-year-old daughter, her pet rescue turtle, and aquariums. I write on my laptop while sitting in a reclining chair, drinking my decaffeinated or herbal tea, and listening to the chatter of red squirrels and the chirping of wild birds. Science fiction can be my way of expressing optimism about the future and how we can make things better. More often, it's me standing on a roof shouting, FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN!
In the seamy Hong Bay district of Hong Kong, crimes of every shape and size are commonplace. But not letter bombs. Not till Mr Leung and Mr Ramaswamy are successively spread bloodily over the office walls.When Detective Inspector Spencer narrowly escapes becoming victim number 3, the Yellowthread Street police are grimly determined to track down the culprit - before the Special Branch get to him. But unless they can find the link between the neatly timed warning letters, the ghosts in the Chinese graveyard and the strange mission of Mr Conway Kan the millionaire, the killer will go free… Gelignite is another tense and exciting drama from the pen of a master.
Full of real police procedure, suspense and fine irony, but with whole extra dimensions of the surreal and the poignant, the Yellowthread Street novels have no real compare - a hidden masterpiece of crime fiction.
