Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1990s Hong Kong, Tiger Dawn follows Sing Deverill, known as the White Crane, as she becomes entangled with Sampson Ching, the ruthless leader of the Yellow Dragon syndicate. Ching's empire, masked by a facade of legitimacy, thrives on illicit trades, including endangered animal trafficking and narcotics. As Hong Kong approaches the pivotal year of the Tiger in 1998, marking the end of British colonial rule, tensions escalate between modern commerce and ancient traditions. Sing and her family find themselves ensnared in Ching's expanding web, which stretches from the opulent streets of Hong Kong to the pirate-infested waters of the Sulu Sea. Geoff Pike crafts a gripping narrative that delves into the complexities of cultural identity, power struggles, and the enduring human spirit amidst societal upheaval.
