Synopsis

It is 1960s Singapore and a time of turbulence: political argument in Malaya, invasion threats from Indonesia, and the Cold War is spreading through Southeast Asia. Sarah is a clever young officer sent to monitor the radio waves and provide military intelligence for the British. Pearl is the young Chinese woman teaching tai chi classes. Caught between them is Harry, the planter’s son turned investigative journalist. But Pearl is not all she seems, Sarah is unearthing a cesspool of dealings, and Harry hardly knows which way to turn to avoid his family ghosts. From the bustling young metropolis of Singapore to the humid muddy jungle of Borneo, a web of political intrigue, conflicting emotions, and taut mystery await.
