The second of The Inspector Kwong Mysteries, The River builds a double tale of a brutal kidnapping and a drawing room mystery straight out of the game of Clue. It's peppered with romance, humor, a viral manhunt and a couple of straight shots of Scotch.

Huang Long Wei was dead. But before he dies, the dragon head of Pearl River Triad gives his chiefs a last wish. He wants Inspector Lawrence Kwong kidnapped and humiliated. The River blends this frightening premise with an old-fashioned murder that turns into another type of fright. And along the way, Matson Tai meets the love of his life.
