Reseña del libro "Chasing a Chinese Dragon"

About the book Chasing a Chinese Dragon is a crime story with a difference. The dragon in the title is a young Chinese woman who embarks on a killing spree across Southeast Asia. She is chased by Simon Grant, a MI6 agent, who tells the story. He shares with us something of the secret world of SIS and the role of the secret agent 'under the alien sky.' The first killing occurs in London; several more follow across Southeast Asia, culminating in an attempt on the life of the chief of the Malaysian Special Branch in London. The killer pursues her victims with the cunning of a dragon. However, she is not a real dragon. The dragon here is a Chinese metaphor for a person seeking justice, retribution and redress. She is not a serial killer. She is a very complex character, deeply disturbed by legacy issues that remain unresolved in post-colonial Southeast Asia. At several points in the narrative the narrator stops to explain the colonial history of Southeast Asia and the 'legacy issues' that still remain unresolved.
