Summary

From the publisher's website: "A year after leaving the precinct, Peter Caine, Shaolin priest, is assailed by a vision of death. He goes to his friends at the 101st, only to be rebuffed because he's not a cop any more. The vision comes true, and Peter finds himself alone, facing a decision which will take him down the path of ultimate darkness at the side of a sworn enemy.

Excerpt

"Peter Caine." The voice like smooth whiskey sent chills down Peter's spine. "I am surprised."

"Why?" Peter asked, beating down his instinctive fear and dislike for the man. "You know what's going on in Chinatown." "I do." Bon Bon Hai inclined his head at a manservant waiting to serve tea. "Please, join me."

Peter bowed slightly. "Thank you." He waited until the tea was poured and his host raised his cup and sipped lightly. Then he picked up his own cup and drank deeply.

The hint of an amused smile danced on Bon Bon Hai's lips. "Who would have thought that you and I would ever sit down to tea together?"

"Yeah, well, desperate times call for desperate measures," Peter said quietly. He sat still under his host's appraising eyes. He'd never seen such cold eyes in his life, not even Tan's gaze had unnerved him like this. He realized that for all his polish and manners, Bon Bon Hai was the embodiment of evil.

There was a part of him that wanted to turn and run. The boy from the temple who still lived inside him trembled. He knew, the boy, what the man was doing. What it would mean. They were standing on the edge of the abyss. Man and boy, separate and yet together. Trembling.

"Desperate measures?" Bon Bon Hai raised an elegant eyebrow. "Yes, it must be desperate indeed for you to come to me."

"I've come to offer you a deal."
