Peter the Brazen: A Mystery Story of Modern China

Peter Moore has earned a near‑mythic reputation among the Pacific’s radio operators. With a pair of astonishingly keen ears and a deft hand on the telegraph key, he can hear distress signals that vanish for everyone else, a talent that earned him a coveted posting on the great trans‑pacific liner Vandalia. When the chief finally grants his long‑desired China run, he steps ashore in Hong‑Kong, a city humming with a restless mix of tradition and modern intrigue.

The bustling streets and shadowed back‑alleys quickly pull him into a tangled web of missing persons and whispered conspiracies. A strange message arrives, hinting at a hidden danger that threatens the lives of those who think they are safe. As Peter follows the clues, his uncanny hearing and relentless curiosity make him the only hope for uncovering the truth before the danger spreads.
