Description

A city that’s falling apart, a man who’s falling apart, and a girl with a secret past who's disappeared without a trace. What complicates things — complicates the hell out of them, actually — is that the missing girl is the daughter of one of the most powerful men in America. She just doesn’t know it. Hong Kong is on the verge of anarchy. Violent street battles rage between riot police and mobs demanding democracy. Samuel Tay is a legendary Singapore homicide detective. John August is an American with shadowy connections to the intelligence community. August asks Tay to help track down the missing girl. Tay owes him one, and he's a man who honors his debts. Besides, there’s this woman… well, there’s always a woman in there somewhere, isn’t there? So here Tay is, stuck in a city only moments away from going up in flames. Everybody is certain the missing girl is dead, and he’s surrounded by all these Americans. Can things get any worse than that? Oh yes, they absolutely can. Tay has developed symptoms that may mean he's very seriously ill. For everybody, there is a last time around the track whether they know it when they make the trip or not. As Tay’s symptoms worsen, he realizes that this missing girl may just be his own last time around. If this really is the end for him, Samuel Tay vows, he’s going to go out with one hell of a bang. Chosen by the International Thriller Writers as a finalist for BEST EBOOK OF 2021. Read more

    • It's finally here. The wait for the next book begins!
This is the latest in the Sam Tay series and it is most pleasing as usual. Tay after being sacked from the Singapore PD is even more interesting a character. I like that other characters from the series, August and Shepard, also show up, and their roles have just the right weight so as to not overshadow Tay. I find all key characters quite interesting though am partial to Tay. The new character, Claire, is a bit of a cipher, like August, and I hope to learn more about those two in future volumes. Just a few criticisms. Demonstrators throwing rocks are portrayed as harmless kids, when in reality, however justified the demonstrations, the violence of rock-throwing is often underestimated, it can kill and do serious damage to other humans. Sam Tay remains in denial about the fact that he was fired for cause, for actions in a previous book, that I consider somewhat out of character for him and that I hoped he'd reflect on. The copy editing is less thorough than usual: a few repetitions of ideas, could have cut about 5%, a few cliches here and there. Of course nothing in life is entirely perfect, as Sam Tay knows very well. I hate that we get only one new book per year. This author is an artist who puts a lot into each book, not a mass producer with a farm of ghost writers, so it's understandable. Still, one can wish for two books a year. I have been reading these books in random order, and one does not miss much by doing so, as the author does mention key facts from previous books when the need arises, and unlike lesser authors, he never ends a book with a cliffhanger to try to make you get the next installment. I read the whole series simply because it was that good and honestly addictive. While I would not call this literary fiction, it is highly literate fiction. I enjoyed the Hong Kong locale and its broader context, intelligently incorporated into the plot. I also like that these books do not have a whole lot of graphic violence. Violence does happen, but much of the worst is off stage. There is some language inappropriate for a church choir, but it is realistic and--irrespective of how one might feel about it--not inappropriate to the settings. Speaking of stage, I think this series should be made into a movie/tv series by Amazon. It would be something that fans can turn to in-between checking the calendar, waiting for the next book, and it would allow many more people to discover and enjoy this fantastic series. ... show more

    • Return to the World of Samuel Tay
Mongkok Station returns the reader to the world of Inspector Samuel Tay, the quirky Singaporean curmudgeon. This time the setting is Hong Kong at the height of the democracy protests. I see the book divided into three main story arcs: Sam Tay facing a life-threatening situation of his own making. The city of Hong Kong itself and the demonstrations. The case of a missing girl. I listed the above in the order of importance to the book. For a mystery, one might think the case of a missing girl would be paramount. However, it takes a back seat to Sam Tay’s quirks and personal drama. So, if you have invested in Sam Tay from the previous books in the series, you’ll want to join him again. If you have not, you will wonder how this little man who chain smokes and has little interests other than reading could be a hero. Tay stoically fears many things, and frequently they are humorously portrayed. When he’s driven through a tunnel under the Hong Kong bay, the tile reminds him of a men’s toilet, while he considers the possibility of a freighter above him ramming into the tunnel and tons of water drowning him. If he were to die, he didn’t want it to be “in something that looked like a men’s toilet.” The book is supported by fine writing and descriptions of Hong Kong that puts you there. Jake Needham is a master of fresh metaphors. For example: “Doris Lau's eyes hardened and she cocked her head like a dog trying to decide where to bite.” “He slowly turned his head and looked at Tay the way he might have looked at a duck that had started singing an aria from Carmen.” “…he had a quality of wear to him, like an old leather suitcase someone had dragged through a lot of airports.” “It began to rain then, a light mist that seemed to be less falling rain than moisture squeezing out the humid air and trying to escape.” The strengths of the book are the immersion into Hong Kong, it’s culture, and, of course, Sam Tay, the man and his foibles. ... show more
