Notes
After twenty years as an ex-pat reporter, Adrian Gyle has nothing to show for it. Now the streets are choked with students demanding democratic freedoms, and the old world begins to fall apart… Watching from the skyrises is Adrian's old friend Jimmy Tang, the scion of a wealthy Hong Kong family, who has begun a reckless affair with Rebecca, a leading pro-democracy protestor. But when Rebecca disappears and Jimmy goes to ground, Adrian unearths the familiar old urge to investigate. Pursuing Rebecca's ghost to Java Road, Adrian re-assembles her final hours - as he struggles to distinguish between delusion and reality.
