Reliable in Mong Kok

An Asian Thriller

It’s 1990 and Bill Jedburgh, still working in the VIP protection team of the Royal Hong Kong Police, has handed in his resignation and is getting ready to explore new challenges in the private sector with the wily entrepreneur Harry Bolt.

On vacation in Bangkok, he is asked by a senior police officer to assist in resolving a delicate family matter which results in him uncovering a potential assassination attempt on a Thai dignitary who is visiting Hong Kong.

While he adjusts to his new future as a gun for hire, Jedburgh bounces between Bangkok and Hong Kong where conflicting loyalties, and his dreams for a better tomorrow, lead him into confrontations with a famous Thai sniper and the vicious boss of an emerging new Kowloon Triad gang.

Reader Quote:

“Goldsilk and Stagg have produced a compelling origin story for the Reliable Man which is the usual mix of girls, guns and non-stop action from the start. Jedburgh dispatches his enemies with fists, guns and garrotte as he becomes the laconic assassin we know so well from previous outings.”
