Book Overview
Hong Kong, 1937. Orphaned at the age of 19 by the sudden death of her father, a shady Hong Kong dealer in antiquities, Leah Kolbe finds that she has also been left penniless. She is approached by a Mr. Chang who claims to have known her father and offers her a commission to go to Manchukuo to smuggle out Chinese Imperial treasure and the Chief Eunuch. The trip is perilous, through besieged Nanking and by sampan across the South China Sea. It is not until she returns home that Leah realises that she has become a woman with a country of one.

I read this book a few years ago, and found it very interesting. Very moody and atmospheric. I also enjoyed the sequel and was hoping for a third book in the series.
