February, 1942: singapore lies burning and shattered, defenceless before the conquering hordes of the Japanese Army, as the last boat slips out of the harbour into the South China Sea. On board are a desperate group of people, each with a secret to guard, each willing to kill to keep that secret safe. Who or what is the dissolute englishman, van effen? the strangely beautiful eurasian girl, Farnholme? The elegant Dutch planter, Siran? The smiling and silent Nicholson who is never without his gun?
