Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When Peter the Brazen signs on for what should be a routine rescue, he finds himself hurled into the darkest corners of the South China Sea and the remotest reaches of the Far East. From Hong Kong's fogbound piers to a hidden valley where entire generations have been shaped by blood and superstition, Peter battles hypnotic sorcery, savage pirates, and a queen whose beauty masks a cruelty beyond imagination. With only wits, grit, and a portable radio for company, he must outsmart Lotus Burma-the Octopus-save Susan O'Gilvie from a fate worse than death, and unravel the secret of the Jaws of Hell before the sea swallows them all. Bracing, pulpy, and relentless, Kingdom of the Lost is a rip¿roaring tale of rescue, revenge, and redemption: a vintage noir adventure that pairs exotic mystery with brutal, old¿school heroics. Fans of classic pulp fiction, atmospheric adventure, and hardboiled mystery will be hooked from the first storm-swept page to the last bloody climax. Loring Brent's Peter the Brazen returns in the most dangerous installment yet-where honor is earned in the teeth of savagery and salvation rides on the edge of a knife.
