Genre -Thriller
At the young age of 11, Catherine Ling was abandoned on the streets in Hong Kong and her survival was not easy. She befriended a man known as Hu Chang who was very skilled in potions and particularly poisons. Hu Chang takes her under his wing and tutors her. Hu Chang’s reputation as a Master Poisoner (good and bad) is enigmatic and he has the tendency to turn up without people being aware of his intentions. Catherine has an 11yo son Luke and both end up being targets to get to Hu Chang who also befriended Luke.
A very good read with plenty of philosophy and digress as to what the real essence of the poison is about.
