Description
THE THIRD BOOK IN THE AVA LEE SERIES
In Ian Hamilton's The Red Pole of Macau, family ties are stressed to the limit when intrepid forensic accountant Ava Lee must rescue her half brother, Michael, and his business partner, Simon, from a disastrous multimillion-dollar real-estate deal in Macau. When the developers turn out to be gangsters, Michael and Simon are threatened with bankruptcy and much worse. Ava struggles to salvage the deal and her family's money, but then Simon is kidnapped, and the rules of the game abruptly change.
Determined to keep her mentor, Uncle, out of the affair, Ava is forced to turn to a former client, the cunning and seductive May Ling Wong, for help. With time running out, Ava must use all her skills to outwit the gangsters, rescue Simon, and save her family's future.

that could easily jump to the movie screen.”—Rachel Kramer Bussel,
Penthouse

everything....She’s perfect.”—The Toronto Star

next one.”—Simon Lewis, author of Bad Traffic
“Slick,
fast-moving escapism reminiscent of Ian
Fleming.”—Booklist

in a whole new light.”—Kirkus Reviews

action increasing to a deadly climax add to the appeal of this fourth (after
The Wild Beasts of Wuhan, 2013) in Hamilton’s surefire
series.”—Booklist
