The Water Rat of Wanchai

"In The Water Rat of Wanchai, we meet forensic accountant and martial arts expert Ava Lee in her early days working for the mysterious businessman Uncle as they track down large sums of money that have disappeared. One of Uncle's longtime friends has requested help for his nephew, who needs to recover five million dollars from a business deal that went sideways. Ava steps in and immediately is off on a global hunt for the missing money that has her dodging shady characters. On a journey that takes her from Seattle to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Guyana, and the British Virgin Islands, Ava encounters everything from the Thai katoey culture to corrupt government officials. In Guyana she meets her match: Captain Robbins, a godfather-like figure who controls the police, politicians, and criminals alike. In exchange for his help, Robbins decides he wants a piece of Ava's five million dollars and will do whatever it takes to get his fair share."--P. [4] of cover.

  • "Los frascos pequeños esconden los mejores perfumes, pero también los más peligrosos venenos. Ava Lee, nacida en Hong Kong y criada en Canadá, mide 1,60 y pesa tan solo 52 kilos, pero es experta en una letal variedad de kung fu conocida como bak mei y no dudará en emplear ese y otros recursos para llevar a buen puerto los trabajos como forense contable que le encarga su 'tío', el anciano pero quizá no respetable Sr. Chow. Cinco millones de dólares han desaparecido y Ava se apresta a seguir su rastro desde Hong Kong hasta las islas Vírgenes, pasando por Bangkok y la Guayana. Y es en este último lugar donde encontrará la horma de su zapato cuando el corrupto Capitán Robbins, patriarca local que controla a policías, criminales y políticos, se revele dispuesto a todo con tal de hacerse con un porcentaje del jugoso botín. Este libro es el primero de los cuatro títulos protagonizados por Ava Lee, una heroína irresistible en la que la modernidad occidental y la tradición oriental se estrechan seductoramente la mano. Intrigas económicas, escenarios exóticos y duelos apasionantes son el pan de cada día para un personaje que crea adicción--"

At 5"3' and 115 lbs., she hardly seems a threat. But her razor-sharp intelligence and unorthodox rules of engagement allow her to succeed where traditional methods have failed. Ava travels across continents to track 5 million owed by a seafood company. But it's in Guyana where she meets her match: Captain Robbins, a huge hulk of a man and godfather-like figure who controls the police, politicians, and criminals alike."--"
