Chinaman's Chance by Ross Thomas
A favourite Thomas novel on a hard list to choose from, Chinamans Chance, often considered Thomas' best, introduces the characters of Quincy Durant and Arthur Wu, pretender to the throne of the emperor of China. An accident involving a dead pelican sets Wu and Durant on a path to find a missing woman and retrieve treasure buried in Saigon left by fleeing U.S. Marines. Along the way, of course, they encounter all manner of corrupt government and underworld figures-just the sorts of characters one would expect in a novel by Ross Thomas.SKU | Unavailable |
