American Sailor Kurt Reid is a hothead—as scrappy and rough around the edges as Jimmy Cagney.  Falsely accused of murder, Reid jumps ship in Shanghai—and lands in a web of intrigue, betrayal, and murder.  Drawn into a deadly spy game, he’ll have to learn the rules fast, because with players like sexy Russian agent Varinka Savischna, the game is as seductive as it is sinister.

As a young man, Hubbard visited pre-Communist China three times, where his closest friend headed up British intelligence.  In a land where communists, nationalists, war lords and foreign adventurers schemed for control, Hubbard gained a unique insight into the intelligence operations and spy-craft in the region—a knowledge that informs stories like Spy Killer.
