Matt Berkeley, former U.S. Navy Special Warfare officer, attempts to stem the tide of corruption sweeping the Caribbean island of St. Michael. Corruption brought by the Golden Dragon Society and its migration from Hong Kong following the transfer of the colony from British rule to that of the People's Republic of China.Drawn into the Dragon's grasp by the brutal death of his closest friend, the assassination of St. Michael's president, and his unexpected feelings for terminally ill Dr. Sarah Hawkins, St. Michael's Assistant Medical Examiner, Berkeley's search for truth plunges him into a world of political intrigue and murder.
