The Scroll of Benevolence: The climactic showdown for the future of Hong Kong

The endgame begins… China’s supreme leader is at the point of death, and a complacent world yawns, convinced that the ‘sleeping dragon’ will never awake. But what if the world is wrong, and China has covertly managed to amass inconceivable military might? In Hong Kong, the financial and commercial giants have secretly arranged to leave before the Chinese takeover in 1997, their vast assets wired to safety by brilliant software codenamed The Scroll of Benevolence. Lo Bing, an ambitious Chinese general who plans to make a bid for power when China's ruler dies, is determined to frustrate them at all costs. Russian and American agents, racing against time to preserve a peace undermined by Lo Bing's plotting, join forces to prove what the general most wants to hide: that China has secretly become a strategic superpower. Meanwhile Diana, daughter of Simon Young, one of Hong Kong’s most prominent businessmen, is trapped deep in China. If she is to survive she must reach Hong Kong before the final countdown to Benevolence. Her only hope rests with a beyond-handsome Chinese youth – but is he friend, or foe...? The thrilling conclusion to the Simon Young trilogy, perfect for fans of Mick Herron and Len Deighton.
