I HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ME. OF COURSE, I KNOW THAT'S BULL. IF I DON'T START TALKING SOON, THEY'LL HAUL ME OFF SOMEWHERE AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF ME.

SO BEFORE THEY COME BACK, LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT. I'M NOT WHO THEY THINK I AM.

Jack Shepherd was sick of Washington politics, sick of corporate law, and even a little sick of himself.

So he hit the road looking for a new start, made a couple of wrong turns, and somehow wound up in Hong Kong. Now he needs a job, and being a lawyer for General Chalerm Kitnarock is a job, so he takes it.

Shepherd could certainly have done a lot worse for himself. Charlie Kitnarok is the world's ninety-eighth richest man. He rules an international corporate empire and controls billions in personal assets. But he's also a former Thai prime minister now living in exile in Dubai. When he's not making money, he's plotting his return to political power in Thailand.

For Shepherd, that could be a problem. Thailand already has a prime minister, and she's a woman with whom Shepherd once had a relationship of a sort. It will get particularly messy if, as Shepherd suspects, Charlie is smuggling arms to his supporters and intends to use the Thai army to seize control of the country.

Can Shepherd keep his two friends from destroying each other and prevent Thailand from slipping into anarchy? The country is hurtling closer and closer to a bloody civil war and, as unlikely as it may sound, Jack Shepherd might be the only person on earth who can stop it.
