Jonah Mulray lives an ordinary life as a professor until he is told that his wife has been murdered while travelling on business in Hong Kong. He travels to repatriate her body, but while there he discovers that she has been living a double life throughout their marriage, and as a consequence, he begins to uncover a wider conspiracy.
After Megan's final heartbreaking phone message, Jonah tries to convince David that she was killed. But Jonah's search for proof uncovers further secrets that force him to question whether he ever truly knew his wife at all.
When Jonah realises Megan was involved with Hong Kong's most dangerous players, he starts to wonder whether those closest to her may know more than they've let on...
Jonah finds himself left adrift when David goes off the radar. Fuelled by suspicion and paranoia, Jonah tracks him down to the dazzling gambling island of Macau, where he comes face to face with David's dark past.
Jonah goes undercover to find out once and for all whether David is connected to Megan's death. Along the way he must confront a triad member and known killer.
Megan's last bequest leaves a trail of money that leads Jonah and David straight into the perilous jaws of Third Empire.
