Follow the Dragon, an Historical Novel of British Hong Kong. 1980. Jake Salter returns for his father's funeral and discovers a secret bargain made in WWII between his father and a now aging Chinese billionaire called the Dragon. Stemming from true-life events in the war (the British SOE and the BAAG), the lives and fortunes of Jake and the Dragon are threatened by a secret society, as the son's life is forever changed by desperate events in the colony off the coast of China.
The author spent twenty years as a banking executive, mostly in Asia and London. There were two tours in Hong Kong; he felt in many ways the most interesting and exciting assignments. Certainly a great deal of the story, Follow the Dragon, results from real experience in the colony. Two other fiction projects are in progress, both in south China and related to true events in WWII. The author and his wife live in Houston. Among other things, he is a long time member of the Asia Hands Society of New York and the Historical Novel Society. His website is jwdbooks.com.
