James Hadleigh is the man who has everything - wealth, status, and a beautiful wife. But the man who has everything has more to lose than most. When Hadleigh's wife mysteriously disappears, is it the beginning of the end?

Hadleigh leases Melford to a film company, and as the staff walk out, the film's leading lady walks in.

Hadleigh goes to Hong Kong to sell a rare diamond to a mysterious buyer. The middlemen are ruthless, and sometimes deadly. There are compensations, however; one is the exotic city itself, and another, equally exotic, is Hadleigh's guide and mentor - the enigmatic Kai Yin.
