Peter the Brazen: A Mystery Story of Modern China Ongoing

Renowned across the Pacific for his extraordinary hearing and legendary touch at the wireless key, operator Peter Moore, widely known as Peter the Brazen, craves an escape from a perilous maritime life. Exhausted by turbulent years on the China run, he abruptly resigns his post to seek a quiet life ashore in San Francisco. Yet the mysteries of the Far East refuse to release him. A discreet errand into the fog-shrouded alleys of Chinatown plunges Peter straight into a treacherous underworld of secret societies, smuggled messages, and sudden danger. When a high-caste Chinese woman drops a cryptic warning at his feet from an upper window, he catches the watchful, sinister eye of a powerful merchant. Targeted by ruthless forces spanning both sides of the Pacific, the daring young operator must use his razor-sharp instincts, acute senses, and unshakeable nerve to unravel a deadly web of international intrigue.
