Overview

Chris Thrall left the Royal Marines to find his fortune in Hong Kong, but instead found himself homeless and addicted to crystal meth. Soon he began working for the 14K, Hong Kong's largest triad group, as a doorman in one of their night-clubs in the Wanchai red-light district. Dealing with crime, violence and the 'foreign triad' -- a secretive expat clique which, unbeknown to the world, works hand-in-hand with the Chinese mafia -- he had to survive in the world's most unforgiving city, addicted to the world's most dangerous drug.

Author Information

Chris Thrall was born in Bromley. At 18, he joined the Royal Marine Commandos. Following active service in the Northern Ireland Conflict and training in Arctic warfare and survival, he earned his parachutist's 'wings' and went on to serve as part of a high-security detachment onboard an aircraft carrier. In 1995, Chris moved to Hong Kong to oversee the expansion of a successful network-marketing operation he'd built part-time while serving in the Forces. Less than a year later, he was homeless, hooked on crystal methamphetamine and working for the triads.
