In Ian Hamilton's The Water Rat of Wanchai, forensic accountant and martial artist Ava Lee faces her most perilous case yet. Early in her career working for the enigmatic Uncle, Ava is tasked with recovering five million dollars lost in a failed business deal for a close friend’s nephew. Her pursuit of the missing funds takes her across Seattle, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Guyana, and the British Virgin Islands, navigating dangerous encounters from Thailand’s katoey culture to corrupt officials. In Guyana, she confronts Captain Robbins, a powerful figure controlling police, politicians, and criminals, who demands a share of the money in exchange for his assistance.
