Struggling with the daily torture of call-centre work, Troy's mid-twenties disillusion hits its lowest ebb when his girlfriend reveals that she has been sleeping with her driving instructor. Something has to change. Troy exchanges Leeds for the bright lights of Hong Kong where he finds a flat in the infamous Wan Chai district and hopes to rekindle his dwindling enthusiasm for life. After finding a job teaching English to adults and befriending some colourful characters, it seems that moving east was an inspired decision. However, following a chance meeting with Sophie, a beautiful girl from his past, things takes a disastrous turn and Troy inadvertently becomes embroiled in a debauched adventure involving the players and oddballs of Hong Kong's cocaine underworld -- and a police informant against his will."In his debut novel, Andrew Carter serves up a well-crafted cautionary tale that penetrates Hong Kong's glitzy surface and explores a darker side of expat life." - Peter Gregoire, prize-winning author of best-selling thrillers, Article 109 and The Devil You Know.

ANDREW CARTER was born in Leeds in 1986. After graduating from Lancaster University in 2009, he spent two years working as a care worker for young people with disabilities. In 2011, he moved to Chengdu, China where he taught English in a secondary school. After a few months of struggling with the language barrier and the spicy food, Andrew relocated to Hong Kong where, despite a frightening lack of business knowledge, he attempted to teach corporate English to adults. Andrew is passionate about football, which is not ideal as he is not particularly good at it and suffers from the trauma of being a Leeds United fan. He also plays the guitar averagely, falls over frequently and has not yet grown out of playing computer games. Fast approaching thirty, Andrew is trying to make the transition from cheap lager to fine ale. He currently lives in Leeds.
