The Last Panda: Promise to a Dead Man Part II (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780985209759)

The Chinese government's obsession with one smuggled Panda is a top priority... Why? The U.S. government wants to silence anyone connected to the Panda Bear scandal... Why? Violence and intrigue -seemingly caused by one harmless bamboo-eating bear-propels the story of "The Last Panda". In this sequel to "Promise to a Dead Man", the beautiful Mei-ling tries to escape her self-exile in China, while her lover Smitty is being hunted in California by ruthless, unknown government assassins. How these star-crossed lovers reunite, and their odyssey to complete Mei-ling's strange, personal mission to kill the last smuggled Panda bear-a mission that brought these two unlikely people together in the first place-takes the story to Guangdong, China... Macao... and on to California, deep into the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Mojave Desert as they are pursued by professional killers, determined to stop them...and kill them. Joined by several allies and friends-each with their own personal motives- outgunned and outnumbered-their search collides with U.S. mercenaries, a powerful Russian oligarch, and an army of ex-military Russian gangsters. Violence and death are the watchwords of this truly picaresque tale where no one is really who they seem to be, as they all desperately search for "The Last Panda."
