Houghton Mifflin. 07/06/1998. Reprint. 248 pgs. Bunt Mallard is a middle-aged Englishman living in Hong Kong with his elderly mother. Bunt manages Imperial Stitching, a textile business started by his father, and has almost nothing to do with any part of China or Hong Kong that is not within the circuit of his colonial and expatriate clubs and hangouts. Despite the impending transfer of power to the Chinese in Hong Kong, Bunt makes no effort to accommodate himself to the changing times, and refuses a generous offer from Mr. Hung, a Chinese businessman who wants to buy out his business. Soon afterward, a worker in his factory disappears, and in the course of the investigation, Bunt begins to realize that his fate is inextricably bound with that of Hong Kong and China whether he likes it or not.
