Political hatchet man Charlie will do anything to protect Sebastian, his best friend and a member of Australia's parliament. Friends since school, they've always had each other's backs. But then a single phrase in Mandarin is spoken in Sebastian's ear, and he does the unthinkable. As Charlie tries to piece it all together – from their youth spent in Hong Kong to the recent past in Beijing – things in the outside world start to fall apart too. Planes can't land, the phone lines go down and the power is out.

The gentlemen with the wicked brown eyes - the beautiful young man whose image had been immortalized more than two centuries before by the artist's brush - seemed much more than pigment and paint and canvas. When best-selling author Rachael Lafferty sees the painting on the auction block, the beautiful young man captures her heart and her writer's imagination. She knows she has to have the painting.

Khin's sister Theda has a strange illness and a euthanasia drug locked in a box under her bed. Her doctor thinks her problem is purely physical, and so does she, but Khin is not so sure.

He needs to sort things out with his ex-partner. Once there, events take a very odd turn, and he finds himself in court.
