Praise for The King of Shanghai:"Fast-paced suspense, exotic locales, and a rich cast of characters … make for yet another hugely entertaining hit.” — Publishers Weekly, Starred Review"Good fun, too, for those who like to combine crime fiction with armchair traveling.” — BooklistPraise for the Ava Lee series and Ian Hamilton:“Whip smart, kick-butt heroine, mixed into a perfect combination of adventure and exotic location. Can’t wait to see where Ava is off to next.” — Taylor Stevens, author of the Vanessa Michael Monroe Series“The only thing scarier than being ripped off for a few million bucks is being the guy who took it and having Ava Lee on your tail. If Hamilton’s kick-ass accountant has your number, it’s up.” — Linwood Barclay“A heck of a fun series, sharing Ian Fleming’s penchant for intrigue and affinity for the finer things in life and featuring Ava Lee — a remarkable hero, a twenty-first century James Bond with real depth beneath her tough-as-nails exterior. Five stars and first class!” — Owen Laukkanen, author of The Professionals“Ava Lee, that wily, wonderful hunter of nasty business brutes, is back in her best adventure ever . . . if you haven’t yet discovered Ava Lee, start here.” — Globe and Mail“Slick, fast-moving escapism reminiscent of Ian Fleming.” — Booklist“A hugely original creation.” — Irish Independent“Crackling with suspense, intrigue, and danger, your fingers will be smoking from turning these pages. Don’t ever, ever, mess with Ava Lee. She’s not your average accountant.” — Terry Fallis, author of The Best Laid Plans
