Stanley Price has dreamt since childhood of exploring the world. But, when the army posts him to Hong Kong in the 1960s, this officer, scoundrel and rake falls for the glamour, the girls and the gung-ho attitude. Swept along and seduced by this free-wheeling city, he is sucked into a delightful vortex of beer, women and bribes. His dreams remain ever-present but out of reach. Until, that is, he falls for a young lady who could be his redemption – or his nemesis. "A fun and stylish tale of the life and loves of an ex-pat struggling to discover if all really is fair in love, war and business in the Hong Kong of the seventies and eighties." - Lawrence Gray, Screenwriter, Director and Novelist.

—- Sorry to the Goodreads Readers to whom I gave away Price's Price. The books were mailed from Hong Kong in August and many remain stuck outside LA Port due to current supply chain issues There's nothing I can do, but please bear with me.—- I had a nomadic upbringing between the UK and US, left home at 17 and, after enrolling in (I was too busy drinking to be said to have attended) university, and a couple of years' drudgery, set off to explore the world. Hong Kong ended up being my home, but I have lived in most countries in South East Asia and a few in the Middle East and consider myself a citizen of the world. Writing does not come easily to me, but it is the only way I've found to make sense of the world, and the only activity which is wholly immersive - I'm both cursed and blessed with a passion for something I'm not very good at.
