When river pirates kidnap the prosperous merchant Tung Lai Luk, it is left to his nephew, young Ming So, to arrange the ransom and the rescue.
In his valiant attempts to save his uncle, he stumbles unexpectedly upon a web of deception, intrigue and murder that seems to centre around the Happy Heart, an establishment of dubious repute, owned by Tung and his beautiful young wife.
Keith West has drawn a delightful cast of characters in this entertaining 'whodunit' set in China of the 1930's, blending elements of magic, mystery and romance in a story that sparkles with wit and humour.
