Cato Kwong is back. Back in Boom Town and back on a real case

- the unsolved mystery of a missing fifteen-year-old girl.

But it's midsummer in the city of millionaires and it's not just the

heat that stinks. A pig corpse, peppered with nails, is uncovered

in a shallow grave and a body, with its throat cut, turns up in the

local nightclub.

As a series of blunders by Cato's colleague brings the squad

under intense scrutiny, Cato's own sympathy for a suspect

threatens to derail his case and his career
