Was there no one who could help him? So many people, so orderly out in the sun, but he might as well have been alone deep inside Mrs Song's alleyway. The blade would find him. He'd lie bleeding in the heat and the man would simply melt away.
Like the mythical young Icarus, rookie trader Rorke Summers flies too high. High stakes, high bonuses, high living - in Hong Kong and Macau he is seduced by them all. He is caught up in triangles of passion, betrayal, and death. And in the triangle most feared in the East: that of the Chinese triads.
All the while, on the trading floor, Rorke has to cope with his unrelenting job under the watchful eye of his boss, Quinn.
Will he find the middle way or will he meet the fate of Icarus? And whom does he choose: Vicky, the girl of his dreams back home, seductive Kristin, or the exotic Ling?
Icarus over Hong Kong moves at a fast pace between the trading floor, the casinos of Macau and the teeming streets of Hong Kong, exposing the money-driven world of investment banking as well as the dark world which exists beneath Hong Kong's glittering veneer.
